L-Glycine
Also known as aminoacetic acid. Glycine is the smallest amino acid, and is non-essential. Beyond its role as a building block for protein synthesis, glycine functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. There is limited evidence that suggests supplemental glycine may improve sleep quality, help stimulate growth hormone release, and treat degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis.
