> The best place I've found to buy it is LuckyVitamin.com, Now foods, one pound, $9. Its also called L-glycine. As my doctor told me its ok if it has the "L" in front of it. Other than that I don't know why.
Glycine is unique among the amino acids in its not being chiral. Therefore, the D-/L- designation is not applied to it. Glycine is officially just glycine. For all the other amino acids, the L- enantiomer is the natural one.
