• Glycine is mildly sweet and can be used as a sugar substitute in tea or coffee
• Glycine and collagen (an outstanding source of glycine) inhibits the consumption of NADPH, thereby lowering inflammation and oxidative damage
• NADPH oxidase is typically abbreviated as NOX. Inhibiting NOX is an effective way to increase NADPH and your cells’ ability to reduce oxidative stress
• NADPH is used as a reductive reservoir of electrons to recharge antioxidants once they become oxidized. NADPH is also necessary to make your steroid hormones and fats
• Preventing many chronic diseases requires finding a means of inhibiting or modulating NOX. Such strategies include avoiding fructose, practicing nutritional ketosis and supplementing with spirulina, niacin, glycine and collagen
• Glycine supplementation may be beneficial for the prevention and/or treatment of metabolic syndrome, complications from diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy, and alcoholic and nonalcoholic liver disorders
