THERAPY RECOMMENDATION

Positive Effects:

  • Glycine is the smallest non-essential amino acid. Glycine is an important building block for almost all body proteins, including collagen and hemoglobin.
  • Glycine stimulates the immune system.
  • Glycine inhibits the release of glucagon, improving insulin sensitivity.
  • Glycine is a component of acetylcholine, which plays an important role in various functions of the autonomic nervous system.
  • Glycine is required for the synthesis of glutathione, has antioxidant and cytoprotective effects.
  • Glycine is a precursor to creatine.
  • Glycine, like GABA, belongs to the inhibitory neurotransmitters.
  • Glycine can attenuate pain impulses.
  • Glycine activates NMDA receptors, improving memory performance.
  • Glycine promotes concentration and activates learning processes.
  • Glycine can have an anxiolytic, relaxing, and sleep-promoting effect.
  • Glycine contributes to liver detoxification and is a nutrient for Phase II liver detoxification.
  • Results in elastic and firm skin, promotes collagen formation.
  • Glycine has anti-inflammatory effects: by stabilizing the cell membrane, intracellular Ca2+ concentration cannot increase, it lowers NF-kB, pro-inflammatory cytokines and consequently iNOS.

Therapy Recommendations: There is evidence that the properties of the substances contained in the product can have a positive effect on health disorders of the mentioned indications:

  • for acute and chronic infections
  • for type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance
  • to support the CNS (attention, memory)
  • for anxiety and increased muscle tone, antidepressant
  • for sleep disorders to improve sleep quality

Contraindications:Do not use in children under 6 years of age. In case of impaired kidney, liver, or heart function, and in case of albumin deficiency, an adjustment of the individual dose is recommended. Patients taking beta-blockers have an increased risk of a decompensated cardiovascular reaction, as beta-blockers inhibit the effect of adrenaline (emergency medical treatment). Patients with a tendency to allergic reactions and/or with diseases based on histamine release (e.g. asthma) should be questioned about known allergens according to the principles of therapeutic due diligence.

Note for Doctors and Therapists: In principle, the doctor/therapist determines the indication for individual prescriptions. The suggestion is merely a recommendation for a therapy option, with the dosage and frequency of application being solely at the discretion of the doctor/therapist. The treating therapist is responsible for the treatment and must individually check and assess the respective application for each patient before starting treatment.

We have researched the literature with the greatest possible care. Nevertheless, we assume no liability for the completeness and topicality of the study information. Many of the therapy options mentioned in the product information are based on findings obtained from animal or human cell cultures, animal experiments, observational studies, and to a lesser extent randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
The study situation for complementary medicines is subject to continuous development, which can sometimes lead to different results. We therefore recommend that therapists always carefully review the current study situation before using such preparations.
