Supports muscle growth and repair, improves bone health and helps regulate blood sugar levels
 
Calms the Nerves and Feeds the Brain--Studies show glycine benefits cognitive performance and the central nervous system because of how it plays a role in the metabolic synthesis of certain nutrients that the brain and nerves use for energy.
