A. Prioritize Collagen-Rich Foods
Collagen is naturally high in glycine and helps counterbalance methionine-rich muscle meats.
- Bone broth (chicken, beef, fish)
- Chicken skin
- Slow-cooked cuts with connective tissue (oxtail, short ribs, chicken wings)
B. Incorporate Gelatin
- Use unflavored gelatin in smoothies, soups, or teas.
- Make healthy gelatin-based snacks or desserts.
C. Limit Excessive Methionine
Reduce large portions of pure muscle meat (e.g., chicken breast, steak), or combine it with glycine-rich sides like broth or gelatin.
D. Consider Glycine Supplementation
For a precise glycine boost, glycine powder supplements (2-3g per day) are easy and safe for most people.
