Nutritional Supplements Glycine Powder Cas 56-40-6 Chemical Raw Material

Glycine (abbreviated as Gly), also known as aminoacetic acid, is a non-essential amino acid with the chemical formula C2H5NO2. Glycine is a constituent amino acid of the endogenous antioxidant reduced glutathione. It is often supplemented exogenously when the body experiences severe stress. It is sometimes also called a semi-essential amino acid. [1] Glycine is one of the simplest amino acids.
Solid glycine is a white to off-white crystalline powder, odorless and non-toxic [2]. Easily soluble in water, almost insoluble in ethanol or ether. It is used in the pharmaceutical industry, biochemical experiments and organic synthesis. It is the simplest structure among the amino acid series and is not essential for the human body. It has both acidic and alkaline functional groups in the molecule, is ionizable in water, and has strong hydrophilicity. , but it is a non-polar amino acid, soluble in polar solvents, but difficult to dissolve in non-polar solvents [3], and has a high boiling point and melting point. Glycine can take on different molecular forms by adjusting the acidity and alkalinity of the aqueous solution. .
