The simplest amino acid (non-chiral). The major collagen component — every third residue in collagen is glycine (Gly-X-Y repeat). Component of glutathione, the body's primary antioxidant tripeptide. Part of the skin's NMF.
Why BP Derma Uses It
Glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen. Including it in our amino acid complex ensures we are providing the skin with the exact building blocks it needs to maintain and rebuild its collagen matrix.
