Glycine in the ups and downs of insulin resistance 

When you’re insulin resistant i.e. you have metabolic syndrome, pretty much every chemical in the body is NOT QUITE RIGHT. Some are up. Some are down. Few are actually at physiologically NORMAL levels.
Traditionally the focus is on the big guns.
• Insulin
• Sugar
• And cholesterol
In this series, we’ll take a look at some of the other players.
Who they are, what they’re up to and how they’re part of the state of insulin resistance.
In this video, we look at glycine, the “junior” member of the amino acid gang. Glycine is down, which is a bit surprising, since all the other amino acids are running high, not low, in someone who is insulin resistant.
Why it’s low…………….. no one knows for sure.
Could be supply problems. Could be a demand issue. Probably a little bit of both.
The point is….. it’s low and it matters.
Glycine might be a simple amino acid, but it’s a busy little guy - glycine makes LOTS of body chemistry, BETTER.
