About this supplement
Micronized Glycine is a finely ground form of the amino acid glycine, which is the simplest amino acid and plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes. It is involved in the synthesis of proteins, the production of hormones and neurotransmitters, and the regulation of various physiological functions. Micronization increases the surface area of glycine, potentially enhancing its absorption and bioavailability in the body.
