Description

Glycine

Glycine is a high-purity, non-essential amino acid used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biotechnological applications as a buffering agent, stabilizer, sweetener, and physiological intermediate. As the simplest naturally occurring amino acid, Glycine plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, detoxification, and central nervous system modulation. Glycine is

• A pharmaceutical-grade amino acid with broad formulation utility
• Used as a buffer, stabilizer, nutrient, and API precursor
• Suitable for oral, injectable, ophthalmic, and topical preparations
• Also widely used in bioprocessing, tissue preservation, and dialysis solutions
• manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions
• Supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and supporting technical data

Chemically known as aminoacetic acid, Glycine appears as a white crystalline powder with sweet taste and excellent water solubility. It is zwitterionic at physiological pH and highly compatible with other excipients, proteins, and biological systems.

In pharmaceutical and medical applications, Glycine is used in:

• Parenteral solutions and IV formulations as an osmotic and buffering agent
• Oral supplements and powders for metabolic support and detoxification
• Ophthalmic and topical products as a mild pH adjuster and stabilizer
• Dialysis and irrigation fluids for electrolyte balance and biocompatibility
• Biotech fermentation media as a nutrient and pH regulator

Glycine is also a neurotransmitter that acts as an inhibitory modulator in the spinal cord and brainstem, with emerging applications in neurology and clinical nutrition.

CarboMer supplies Glycine with validated controls for assay, purity, heavy metals, and microbial content. Material conforms to USP, EP, and FCC specifications and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical and food use.

The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation—including CoA and SDS—are available upon request.

Each batch is tested for identity (IR, HPLC), assay, loss on drying, pH, residual solvents, heavy metals, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.

As with all CarboMer amino acids and pharmaceutical actives, Glycine is supported by formulation expertise, regulatory guidance, and reliable global sourcing to help you create safe, effective, and patient-focused products.
