Glycine Powder from LUTO Supplements
Glycine is the smallest amino acid your body knows, and you even produce some of it yourself. Still, many people choose to supplement it separately. This glycine powder from LUTO Supplements is 100% pure: one ingredient, nothing else. You get 1000 grams in a bag, enough for 200 servings of 5 grams per day.
About glycine
Glycine is a building block of proteins. In fact, it is the building block that appears in collagen every third position. Glycine is found in many different foods and is also sold as a free amino acid.
Powder or capsules, which is more practical?
A serving of glycine is easily around 5 grams. If you want to get that in with capsules, you'll quickly end up with a handful of pills, because only half to one gram fits in a capsule. With powder, you scoop up those 5 grams at once. This glycine powder dissolves clearly in water and has a slightly sweet taste, so you can also stir it into coffee, tea, or a shake. In practice, you hardly notice it. It also makes a difference in price: per gram, you are usually much better off with powder than with capsules, especially if you use it daily.
Where glycine is naturally found
You find glycine mainly in high-protein foods of animal origin: meat, fish, gelatin, and broth made from bones. Plant-based sources provide less of it. This powder is made without animal-derived ingredients and therefore fits into a vegan diet. Many people wonder how much glycine you would take per day then. The recommended dosage is 5 grams per day, one scoop. It doesn't matter much when you take it; choose a fixed time that you can easily stick to.
Pure powder without additives
What is in it is on the label and stated simply: only pharmaceutical-grade glycine. No fillers, no sweeteners, no colors. For those looking for a large size of glycine powder to last longer, a 1000-gram bag is a logical choice. Every batch is checked for purity before it leaves the door. Store the powder dry and sealed, then it will stay nice and loose and easy to scoop.
Glycine is one of those amino acids you rarely hear about, but that pops up everywhere in your body. Whether you use it alongside your protein intake or just want to supplement it purely, with this powder you know exactly what is in your glass down to the gram.
