Glycine Powder

Pure glycine, the simplest amino acid, as a mildly sweet powder. A scoop dissolves in water or tea; 3 g is a typical serving.

• 100% glycine
• Slightly sweet
• 250 g–1 kg

Why you’d want it: The cheapest amino acid on the shelf and the one people take in the evening. It is also the main building block of collagen.

Picking tip: It tastes like weak sugar, so it goes into tea without a fuss. 3 g in the evening is the usual amount; the scoop in the tub is often bigger than that. Keep the tub dry and the lid on; it cakes if it gets damp.

Supplements are food, not medicine: nothing here treats or prevents anything. If you take any medicine, ask a pharmacist first.
