Additional benefits of Glycine and Proline

I’ve already discussed glycine’s role in fighting inflammation and healing the gut. But the benefits don’t stop there. Here’s what else glycine does for you:

• Aids detoxification to cleanse and revitalize your cells
• Protects your body against shock  from hemorrhage, endotoxins, and sepsis
• Improves blood flow to your heart, liver, kidney, intestine, and skeletal muscle
• Enhances insulin sensitivity, which makes it easier for your body to burn fat and reduces your risk of metabolic syndrome and diabetes
• Regulates the secretion of human growth hormone (HGH), which increases your body’s ability to burn fat and sculpt lean muscle
• Promotes sleep, which is when your body repairs and rejuvenates itself
• Prevents oxidative stress, which speeds up the aging process, increases inflammation, and can lead to disease if it becomes chronic
• Reduces injuries to liver and kidneys caused by toxins and drugs
• Protects the lining of the stomach from the development of ulcers

Proline also specifically helps your body:

• Synthesize proteins
• Metabolize food
• Protect against free radicals and oxidative stress
