6:55 Why you need glycine
In this video, we’ll discuss a very important amino acid: glycine. Collagen is a main component of connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. About ⅓ of collagen is made by glycine.
Your body can make glycine, but unfortunately, it doesn’t make very much. If you're not getting it from the diet, you could be deficient. Unless you’re eating the skin and cartilage from meat, you’re probably not getting enough glycine.
Glycine is needed to make the most important antioxidant for all of your cells, glutathione. Without enough glycine to make glutathione, you can’t detoxify your body. This can cause a buildup of toxicity, leading to inflammation.
Glycine is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and is an essential building block for many enzymes and proteins.
Here are some of the many important functions of glycine:
• Makes heme in your blood
• Important for gum health
• Essential for DNA
• Building block for catalase
• Supports sleep
• Supports the liver
• Can help fix a leaky gut
• Detoxifies uric acid
• Supports blood sugar
• Helps with weight loss
• Reduces visceral fat
Glycine can also turn into glucose to be used as fuel. Certain parts of the body, especially the brain, need a certain amount of glucose. If you’re not consuming glucose, your body can make it. Glycine is a precursor for glucose, but don’t worry about it bumping you out of ketosis. Glycine stimulates the hormone glucagon, which opposes insulin.
If you’re not eating animals nose-to-tail, if you’re under stress, taking medication, drinking alcohol, or exposed to toxins, you can become deficient in glycine.
You can increase your glycine intake by consuming gelatin! Try making your own gelatin using Knox Blox and using a natural sweetener like stevia. You can also take a glycine supplement. The average person needs about 4 to 10 grams of glycine per day.
Bone broth and pork rinds can increase your glycine intake, but you need to consume a lot to get enough glycine.
As we age, we need more glycine. Increasing glycine intake can potentially help people with osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, hair thinning, insomnia, gout, and kidney stones.

Thanks for watching! I hope this increases your awareness about the importance of glycine. I’ll see you in the next video.
Every video is so informative ! Absolutely love all your videos
Appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching!
Super interesting information. Thanks for your awesome videos!
Great video Dr berg & what I really love about these are you break them down so everyone can understand them unlike when I’m listening to my doctor who might as well be speaking German (lol)
Ich mag Ihren deutschen Arzt, er spricht, als würde er einen mathematischen Rechenschieber benutzen. 🤨
@@SpamMouse yep that was a metaphor 👍
@@derektierney1314 Μεταφορική έννοια !
Agreed. Dr. Berg is a good one. He doesn’t just feed you crap.
@@spiritualone2173 absolutely I’ve learnt a lot from him & totally changed the way I eat & drink he’s certainly makes you think on another level that everybody can understand
Looks like I’ll be making Knox gelatin blocks. My hair was falling out last year. I was able to stop that but now need to grow a lot of hair to regain the thickness. Thank you for the info. ❤
How do you make them?
For some reason, collagen powder tastes well with black coffee.
I have no idea why 😂
Having collagen right now 🌆☕️🤜🤛🌴🎸🎶🤟 suppl w/ glycine daily
Because it has a faint taste of creamy milk.
Thanks for the heads up!
That’s how I do it too
I started drinking black coffee without the flavored creamers which I know aren’t good for you. It was a struggle drinking it black but the collagen does do something for it. I also sweeten it with Monk fruit sugar. I have been using Collagen for a while now and I can tell a difference.
God BLESS everyone 💕
I’d rather consume Great Lakes Gelatin instead of Knox gelatin.
Collagen without a doubt is marvelous for skin health, relieves joint pain, prevents bone loss, promotes heart and gut health, and strengthens hair and nails. Vitamin C is crucial in the formation of collagen.
INDEED!
@@user-sy7ck3ln6o ahhhh..Right you are Ken.
Cut out the foods that are full of glyphosates ⚠️, and start appreciating the benefits of GLYCINE! 💯 Thank you, Dr. Berg! Have a wonderful Friday, people! 🙂
I’m a Mexican/ Native American from Texas…with Central Market biotin my hair and nails GROW…. Just a truth share…. 😊
I tried the biotin route and sadly, I did not have any success. Guess my biodome, lol, is lacking something else.
Know what you mean sis same here ❤
Do you also eat pork rinds? I’m in costa rica they eat alot here and have beautiful black hair and great skin!
Biotin did nothing for me – I used it for almost a year
I am also mexican, we eat gelatina almost everyday and cook delicious pork skin, chicharrón en salsa or crunchy with avocado and tomato salad. It’s so yummy. My 70 year old mom has almost no wrinkles.
Forever young and super human with Dr. B. Blessings❤
Such great & helpfully descriptive information. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
I looked up the ingredients in Knox blocks, and they are made with pork gelatin.
Just FYI for people who do not eat pork or products made with pork.
Amazon has beef gelatin grass fed grass finished 😊
@@M4WomanGamingthanks for that info
Glycine Glutathione Why are we so deficiate in everything we need to be healthy
Same question on my mind for years!
✅💯🤔
We’re depleted by toxins in the environment and the soil low in nutrients.😥
Poor food quality, more environmental stressors, poor soil, bioengineered foods, poor absorption, etc.
best collagen on the market is Renewed Health Advanced collagen. 100% grass-fed/finished with vitamin c, biotin, zinc, silica, copper and manganese. Basically a collagen and collagen booster in one. incredible stuff.
That only has 9grams per serving. Many others have upwards of 20g collagen.
Awesome! Thank you 🙂
@@concken1 But the others aren’t grass finished, and they rarely contain any additional nutrients essential for collagen synthesis and production. I guess use two scoops if you really need 20 grams per day.
Thanks
Glycine is found in various protein-containing foods, particularly those that are high in collagen or gelatin. Some foods that are good sources of glycine include:
1. **Bone broth:** Bone broth made from simmering animal bones and connective tissues is rich in glycine.
2. **Gelatin:** Gelatin, which is derived from collagen, is a concentrated source of glycine. It’s found in foods like Jello, gummy candies, and certain desserts.
3. **Meat:** Animal meats, such as beef, pork, poultry, and fish, contain glycine, especially in connective tissues and skin.
4. **Seafood:** Fish and shellfish are good sources of glycine, particularly in the skin, bones, and cartilage.
5. **Dairy products:** Some dairy products, like milk, cheese, and yogurt, contain glycine, although in smaller amounts compared to meat and gelatin.
6. **Eggs:** Egg whites contain glycine, along with other amino acids, making eggs a good source of protein.
7. **Soy products:** Soybeans and soy-based products, such as tofu and tempeh, contain glycine, although they may have lower levels compared to animal-derived sources.
8. **Legumes and beans:** Certain legumes and beans, such as chickpeas, lentils, and black beans, contain glycine, although the levels may be lower compared to animal-based sources.
Incorporating a variety of these foods into your diet can help ensure an adequate intake of glycine, along with other essential nutrients. 🤗👌 😉
yup yup yup! BEEF BONE BROTH IS A MAGICAL DRINK! the amount of glycine in a cup of bone soup can range from 500 mg to 1700 mg (0.5 to 1.7 g) Warm it up and drop a couple of tspoons of butter.. Wow.. so addictive.. you’ll get more than enough “glycine” by drinking a couple of cups of this every day.. and the bonus is Beef Bone Broth is super rich in collagen and about 8 to 9 gram of protein per 1 cup. I personally mix in 2 tsp of Beef Gelatin Powder.. for another 8 grams of protein.. The amino acid composition of gelatin is approximately: 21 percent glycine. 12 percent proline. 12 percent hydroxyproline. Mix the Gelatin Powder in cold, then warm up. Drinking Bone Broth.. makes these valuable amino acids more bio available than any other source!
You are such a Good soul to write all these for the Benefits of others 👏🏻
All I can say is…my dr. has been on top of all this, and I can’t remember feeling this well since I was a child
ALWAYS a wealth of info for our health!! Thank you!!!
You had me at “simple and inexpensive ” Thank you so much for this much needed and useful health tip ! Great way to start the day 😊
Agreed. This was the first video I saw today 😊
@@spiritualone2173 I look forward to his videos everyday😊
I’ve been taking collagen every day for years in my morning coffee. I swear by it!
