Glycine is the smallest of the 20 nonessential amino acids that make up the building blocks of plant and animal proteins. A sweet-tasting crystalline solid, glycine is the primary amino acid in sugar cane. In the body, it is found mainly in muscle tissue, connective tissue and skin. Glycine has several important functions in the body, including helping to regulate blood sugars by breaking glucose down into energy, helping to regulate the synthesis of bile acids to break down fats.
