The benefits of our glycine
Whether you’re an athlete or lead a sedentary lifestyle, Nutripure glycine offers numerous benefits that will make it an essential part of your daily routine.
Unrivalled purity
Our glycine stands out for its exceptional quality.
This crystallised glycine, carefully selected for its excellence, is 100% pure. You’ll find no additives, no excipients, no GMOs and no sweeteners.
Our formula is as simple as possible: glycine, and nothing else to ensure optimal absorption by the body.
Per 100 g of Nutripure glycine:
100 g Glycine
0 g Fat
0 g Carbohydrates
Easy and pleasant to take
With an average daily dose of 10 g, it fits perfectly into the diet of both active and sedentary individuals. In powder form, glycine is simple and pleasant to take thanks to its sweet taste.
A suitable alternative for vegans
Pure Glycine is a trusted choice for those seeking a high-quality dietary supplement suitable for a diet free from animal-derived substances. It is an ideal alternative to collagen, which, by contrast, is derived from bovine or marine connective tissues.
Is glycine right for you?
This versatile powder is aimed at anyone wishing to support their wellbeing.
It is particularly recommended if:
- You are an athlete or very active.
- You have a job or activity that involves repetitive movements, heavy lifting or exposure to vibrations, putting your tendons and joints under strain.
- You want to look after your body and your overall health.
Why take glycine?
Glycine is scarce in our modern diet.
Unless you regularly eat foods that are naturally very rich in glycine (bone broth, offal, egg whites, etc.), glycine is not part of our usual diet.
10 g of glycine a day to meet the recommended intake.
Even if you eat foods rich in glycine, it can be difficult to reach the recommended 10 g a day.
For example, you would need to eat around 33 egg whites every day to reach the daily 10 g of glycine.
Glycine plays a key role in numerous biological functions
In particular, it is the main component of collagen, the structural protein essential for bones, skin and connective tissues. It also acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, helping to facilitate communication between neurons. Glycine is often taken in the evening at bedtime.
The glycine your body needs
As a polyvalent amino acid, glycine is naturally present in the human body. It is a component of numerous proteins and is found in particularly high quantities in collagen, the body’s main structural protein.
Thanks to its simple structure, glycine is readily utilised by the body in its various metabolic processes.
- Naturally present in tissues: collagen, which provides the structure for numerous tissues such as the skin and tendons, contains approximately 33% glycine.
- A universal molecule: it is found in numerous tissues and bodily fluids.
- Non-essential amino acid: the body can produce it, but its intake also depends on diet.
Why glycine powder rather than capsules?
At Nutripure, every format is carefully designed to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Nutripure’s glycine is only available in powder form and not in capsules for one simple reason: dosage. Studies and recommended usage show that an effective dose of glycine is around 10 g per day. Putting that amount into capsules would mean you’d have to swallow around 15 of them every day! We consider this to be too much of a hassle in everyday life.
Beyond the practical aspect, the powder format is the best guarantee of Nutripure’s quality:
- Absolute purity: with the powder, you consume only the active ingredient. Nothing unnecessary is added.
- Flexible and precise dosing: with the powder and its measuring spoon, you are in control of your intake. You can easily adapt the dosage to your specific needs. This flexibility is impossible with pre-measured capsules.
- Ease of use: finally, it is much simpler and more pleasant to dissolve our slightly sweet-tasting glycine in a glass of water, a yoghurt or a shaker than to swallow a handful of capsules.
A natural sweetening power
In addition to its essential biological roles, glycine has a naturally sweet taste without actually being a sugar. Sensory comparisons show that glycine has a sweetness similar to that of other sweeteners such as glucose, or the fructose naturally present in honey and certain fruits. However, it has a lower sweetening power than fructose, whose index varies between 1.2 and 1.7.
- Its sweetness is estimated at between 0.6 and 0.89, compared with 0.74 for glucose.
- 30 to 40 per cent less sweet than table sugar.
Glycine’s distinctive flavour profile makes this amino acid a pleasant and easy-to-consume ingredient for everyday use: its subtle sweetness enhances the taste of powdered products, without the need to add sweeteners or flavourings.
With Pure Glycine, you can sweeten your drinks and recipes without the negative effects of sugar. Although it does not completely replace sugar in cooking, it is an interesting option for reducing your sugar intake.
An exceptional manufacturing process
The quality and purity of our glycine are no accident. They are the result of uncompromising specifications and a manufacturing process of the highest possible standard.
Whereas the conventional purification method uses solvents such as alcohol (a simpler and less expensive technique), for our glycine we have opted for a purification process using water and activated carbon.
This gentler method, which is more respectful of the raw material, yields crystallised glycine of exceptional purity, perfectly clear and free from any potential solvent residues.
This ensures a product that is perfectly absorbable and of impeccable purity.
For complete transparency and maximum safety, we do not stop there: each batch of our glycine is systematically tested by analytical laboratories in France to ensure it meets our standards. The certificates of analysis are available under the ‘Certificates’ tab.
Glycine vs Collagen: choose one or combine them?
Although they play similar roles in our bodies, glycine and collagen are distinct substances.
Their actions are complementary: glycine stimulates collagen synthesis, whilst collagen directly provides the elements necessary for tissue regeneration.
Rather than pitting them against each other, combining Pure Glycine with collagen peptides offers the body nutritional support on two levels. This approach is particularly suitable for people with high nutritional needs.
- You provide a structural protein: collagen peptides.
- You boost the supply of the key building block: by adding pure glycine, you specifically increase the availability of the most abundant amino acid in the collagen structure it
