Glycine is an important node in metabolism and a major component of many proteins. It is particularly abundant in collagen, the most important structural protein found, for example, in hair, nails, bones and cartilage, but also in the skin, which gives these structures strength and elasticity. Collagen contains a lot of glycine, it makes up about one third of all amino acids there. Glycine is crucial for the enormous tensile strength as well as the low extensibility of collagen and thus of the cartilage, tendons and ligaments of our musculoskeletal system.
