How Vitamin B12 Works:​
-
Red Blood Cell Formation: B12 is crucial for making healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. A deficiency can lead to anemia.
-
Nervous System Support: It helps maintain the myelin sheath—a protective covering around nerves—supporting nerve function and communication.
-
DNA Production: B12 is involved in creating and repairing DNA, your body's genetic material.
-
Energy Metabolism: It helps convert food into energy, especially fats and proteins.
-
​​
-
How Glycine Works:​
-
Supports brain and nervous system health: Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, helping to regulate nerve impulses and promote relaxation and sleep.
-
Promotes muscle repair and collagen synthesis: As a key amino acid in collagen, glycine is essential for tissue repair, skin health, and joint function.
-
Aids in detoxification: Glycine contributes to the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that supports liver function and detoxification processes.
-
Regulates blood sugar and metabolism: Glycine can help stabilize blood glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity and supporting metabolic function.
