Glycine is the simplest naturally occurring amino acid and a fundamental building block in protein synthesis, neurotransmission, collagen formation, and detoxification processes. As a non-essential yet highly bioactive molecule, it serves multiple physiological roles across human and animal nutrition, from supporting liver function to improving sleep quality, metabolic regulation, and muscle recovery.
Product OverviewGlycine (C₂H₅NO₂) is both a structural amino acid and a functional signaling molecule in the human body. Its small size allows it to participate in a wide range of biochemical pathways—such as glutathione synthesis, creatine metabolism, and heme production—making it an indispensable component in clinical nutrition, anti-fatigue formulas, sports supplements, and therapeutic food systems.
Chibio Biotech supplies pharma- and food-grade Glycine with 99.3% assay purity, produced under stringent quality controls in compliance with GB25542-2010 standards. Our Glycine offers exceptional solubility, neutral taste, and formulation compatibility, making it ideal for use in nutraceuticals, infant formulas, energy blends, and functional protein beverages.
