One-third of all collagen is made up of glycine, an amino acid our bodies can make, but we often don’t produce enough. This vital nutrient directly improves your deep, rejuvenating delta wave sleep. It also helps increase GABA, calming your mind and body.
But it doesn't stop there. Glycine is essential for repairing your gut lining, reducing inflammation, and preventing leaky gut. Even more critically, it's the building block for glutathione, your liver's master detoxifier. Without enough glycine, your liver can't properly eliminate toxins, especially if you're on medications.
Mainstream diets often miss this crucial nutrient. To increase your glycine intake, try consuming collagen in your coffee, or from bone broth, chicken skin, fish skin, and pork rinds.
