Glycine is the simplest and smallest of all amino acids, with a hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is classified as a non-essential amino acid, meaning the human body can synthesize it from other compounds (like serine and choline), so it is not strictly required from the diet.
Despite being non-essential, glycine is involved in a vast array of physiological processes. It is a building block for proteins and plays critical roles as a neurotransmitter and in the synthesis of important biomolecules. Under conditions like metabolic stress or high demand, dietary and supplemental glycine may provide significant benefits.
