Glycine for Gut Healing
-
Glycine, an amino acid found in collagen, plays a key role in gut health by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. Studies suggest that glycine supplementation (5 grams daily) significantly enhances the healing of the intestinal lining in those with leaky gut. It also helps regulate stomach acid production and has a calming effect on the nervous system, which is critical for people with stress-related digestive issues.

Threonine is better? it's a glycine precursor -
@wester130 Why would this be better? Genuinely curious...
-
@DkJoe2 It has unique stomach benefits of its own, but it will convert to glycine if you need it
precursors can sometimes give better results
