Glycine

Glycine is the structurally simplest amino acid, yet it performs a wide range of crucial functions. It is a non-essential amino acid that acts as a building block for important compounds like proteins, creatine, and the antioxidant glutathione.

It also functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, contributing to motor control and sensory processing, and has been studied for its potential to improve sleep quality.
