Gelatin Vs Glycine

[PUTFOT]

Gelatin having glutamic acid and other amino acids when the desired amino acid is glycine, would supplementing glycine instead of gelatin be better? Are there any benefits gelatin has which glycine doesn't?

 

[Queequeg]

good question. I use glycine because as you said its not as diluted by other amino acids so you can get a better overall amino profile with less. Also I am kind of grossed out by the gelatin manufacturing process.

I no longer take gelatin powder after 6 months of taking it.

It can be constipating, irritating and I am certain it increased my IBS symptoms.

Going back to glycine powder.
