OstroVit Glycine 200 g is a high-quality dietary supplement that contains only one ingredient, which is L-glycine. It is a preparation available in a convenient powder form, designed for athletes and conscious consumers who want to supplement the daily diet.

According to new research, the combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine ​​(NAC) improves many age-related problems in older people and strongly promotes healthy aging. This is due to e.g. because together Glycine + NAC form glutathione, which is considered the most important intracellular antioxidant.

Glycine - significant benefits for aging and exercisers

Glycine is an amino acid with significant health benefits and especially properties that support weight training. Its effects range from improving sleep to supporting muscle growth. Here are the main benefits of glycine in these two areas:

1. The role of glycine in health

Sleep and recovery: Glycine is linked to improved sleep quality. It acts as a calming neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and helps relax the body, which can lead to deeper and more restful sleep. Better sleep quality, on the other hand, supports the body's recovery processes.
Antioxidant effects: Glycine participates in the formation of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Glutathione protects cells from oxidative stress and helps the body defend itself against free radical damage, which can slow down aging and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Reduce inflammation and joint health: Glycine acts as an anti-inflammatory amino acid, which can help reduce low-grade inflammation. This is important for joint and connective tissue health, which is especially valuable for active people.
Improves the immune response: Glycine supports the function of immune cells and can improve the body's ability to resist infections and recover faster from illnesses.

2. Effects of glycine in weight training

Muscle protein synthesis and creatine synthesis: Glycine is a precursor of creatine. Creatine, on the other hand, supports the production of ATP, the energy source of cells, which improves physical performance, especially in short and intense performances such as weight training. Creatine also helps with muscle hypertrophy and strength development.
Synthesis of collagen: Glycine is an essential amino acid in the production of collagen, and collagen is important for tendons, ligaments and muscles. Adequate collagen production can reduce the risk of injury, improve recovery and maintain the strength of connective tissues, which is beneficial for those who train hard.
Reduces fatigue caused by exercise: Glycine can help reduce fatigue by reducing the load on the muscles and nervous system. It acts as a relaxing factor in the central nervous system, which can reduce the effect of stress hormones (such as cortisol) and thus support recovery.
Supports blood circulation and improves the availability of nutrients: Glycine can have a positive effect on the flexibility of blood vessels and blood circulation. This improves the transport of nutrients and oxygen to the muscles, which supports their growth and recovery.

Mechanisms of action at the molecular level

Glycine in receptors and nervous relaxation: Glycine binds to glycine receptors in the central nervous system, which act as inhibitory receptors. This helps to reduce overexcitability of the nervous system, which can improve the quality of sleep and help you relax.
Glutathione synthesis and oxidative stress: Glycine is one of the three amino acids needed to make glutathione. Glutathione protects cells from oxidative stress and especially supports the energy production of cells (mitochondrial function), which can help endurance and reduce oxidative damage to muscles.

Dosage

Glycine is typically used as a supplement at around 3–5 grams per day, but some studies have used up to 10 grams in special situations, such as improving sleep. On average, 3–5 grams is enough to support general well-being and recovery.

Summary: Glycine is a versatile amino acid with many benefits for health and performance. Its role as an antioxidant, collagen production promoter and nervous system calmer makes it a particularly useful supplement to support both physical activity and general well-being.

Suggested usage

Add 1 g (1 flat scoop) in 100-150 ml of water or juice. Please use the measuring cup included in the package (1 ml). It is highly recommended to take it 30 minutes before a meal.
