@wester130 interesting. I don’t know about it.

@Mossy you can add it in instead of glycine

I assume gelatin powder or straight glycine could replace

Yes, when taking 10 g glycine, you only assimilate 2 g (20 %). (Study given by Haidut)
I'd take the half dose in the shake (5 g powder).

Acerola powder is extremely rich in vitamin c, half a gram gives you the whole daily value.

yes, but remind that 500 g acerola is not 500 g L-ascorbic acid. +/ 20% vit C.
And if it mentions more on the product, it's a fake (lie) or a possible "poison" (half effective vitamin C added => not recognized by the body / cell fouling).

I didn't find it back (20% glycine absorbed)
But I have these sources from Julien Venesson, in French (translor needed if details required). Trustful.

Thank you. Do you have any experience with Threonine? I'm curious of any side effects you may have experienced.
