Ostrovit Glycine 500g

OstroVit Glycine is a pure glycine powder. The composition is as short as it can be: it contains only this amino acid, with no fillers or additives. One serving, 3 g of powder, provides 3000 mg of glycine, and the 500 g package holds as many as 166 servings, which lasts more than five months with regular use.

Glycine is the simplest amino acid in structure. The body can produce it itself, which is why it is called a non-essential amino acid. Glycine is also one of the main building blocks of collagen, so it is abundant in connective tissue. From food, glycine comes from meat, fish and gelatine.

The powder form suits people who dislike swallowing capsules and tablets or find it difficult. A scoop is included for measuring the serving quickly, and the powder mixes into water or juice. No flavouring has been added, so glycine can also be stirred into other drinks and products. The manufacturer has its products tested regularly in an independent accredited laboratory.

Active ingredient

• Glycine – 3000 mg per serving. The simplest amino acid in structure, produced by the body itself and abundant in collagen and connective tissue.

Because the product is unflavoured, it goes well with other powders. Many people stir glycine into magnesium or collagen, for example. Follow the dosing advice printed on the package.

Package size and how long it lasts

A 500 g package is substantial for this product, because the glycine serving is small. 166 servings means that with daily use one container lasts more than five months, and even longer if you take it less often. Because the powder is unflavoured and free of additives, you do not have to drink it as a separate drink. It can be stirred into a morning drink, coffee or a smoothie without changing the taste. The scoop is small, 1 ml, which is why one serving is three level scoops.
