Glycine is a sweet-tasting, non-essential amino acid that was first isolated in 1820 from gelatin and is also found in good quantity in silk fibroin. This non-essential nutrient can be manufactured from Serine and Threonine. Glycine is required to build protein in the body and in the synthesis of nucleic acids, the construction of RNA as well as DNA, bile acids and other amino acids in the body. It is further found to be useful in aiding the absorption of calcium in the body. Glycine helps in retarding degeneration of muscles since it helps to supply extra creatine in the body. Gly
