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!
Dear Dr Berg could you please explain is cow feet are good source of collagen or it’s full of cholesterol to consume?
Thanks 🙏 ❤
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?
Are Knox blocks really going to grow hair?
Nope!
@@ColtraneTaylor
@@Berrypancakes229 Instructions are on the back of the Knox box!!!
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 💕
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.
Exactly.
I just had my DEXA scan which shows I have osteoporosis in my right hip. Do not want to take the medicine that they have for this can. I do collagen well this help with bone loss.
Great video, thanks❤
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! 🙂
Thanks
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❤
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
I have found halal gelatin at Middle eastern stores too
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 those collagens aren’t grass finished, and they rarely contain any additional nutrients essential for collagen synthesis and production. I’m highlighting this product in particular because their formula is high quality and complete. I guess use two scoops if you really need 20 grams per day.
Thanks
Not necessarily – several are grass finished, etc. I’ll take the 20g over 9 any day. @@SavoyPrimeable
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 👏🏻

Thanks for your comment. Happy to help.
So true 💯
I am done with Biotin. I have been using it for 2 years straight and my nails are still brittle without a nail hardner polish on with no growth. I have been taking Collagen lately and it’s new so I haven’t seen any improvement in my nails but it DEFINITELY oils the joints and my face glow in beauty and youth. Thank you Dr. Berg for your excellent recommendations❤️🙏
I stopped taking biotin, it wasn’t doing anything for me, been taking biotin for 5 yrs and no difference in my hair
Taking it how? What kind?
Biotin NEVER did a thing for me, either!!
Biotin just makes me breakout in painful acne on my face.

I had a herniated disk about 15 years ago. The pain was so intense I would scream in agony as I CRAWLED to the bathroom. The doctor said I would need surgery. After hearing the horror stories from other co-workers who HAD the surgery I decided against it. I had remembered an elderly lady I knew who had hand pain from arthritis who took gelatin (I had read an article about it in the 1990’s and told her about it). She had lived in pain for decades until she took the gelatin. After about 2 or 3 weeks of hydrolyzed Knox gelatin (at the time you could buy a months supply at the grocery store for about $15, but they stopped selling it years ago) the back pain disappeared. As long as I take gelatin daily I have NO pain at almost 70, but if I stop taking it within a few days I feel a nudge to restart it. My back feels like it did when I was 18 as long as I take the gelatin. I purchase 20 pails of it online (now about $170 for hydrolyzed gelatin) that lasts almost a year.
I still have the DVD with the MRI images of the disk as proof.
Right now i can hardly move because i have a third herniated disc since yesterday. Just five minutes ago i prayed desperately to almighty one god to help me. I got troubled with this for twenty years. Please tell me if that really help. Barakallahufeek
My sister has back pain where do you buy your pails from?
Check percutaneous hydrotomy for your back issues.
How do you prepare it?
❤️🔥✌🏼🤩
A scoop of glycine powder along with the collagen powder in black coffee tastes amazing! Slightly sweet.
