GLYCINE - Gly or G
Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, which means our body can manufacture it. It is wide spread in our body and facilitates many biochemical functions in the body.

Glycine is found in high concentrations in the muscle and connective tissue and in the skin. It is closely associated with both digestive and nervous systems. Glycine is also involved in blood sugar regulation, muscle growth and proper transmission of neurotransmitters.

In a supplementing form glycine nutrient is often used in chronic fatigue syndrome and mental health issues. Food sources of glycine include most protein foods (meat, fish, chicken, dairy foods), plant source (spinach, kale, cabbage, cucumber, kiwi, bananas, beans, nuts).

Determine, under different quantities, how much of Glycine, Gly or G, proteinogenic amino acid, not chiral nutrient can be found in Leeks, (bulb plus lower leaf-portion), boiled, cooked, drained, without salt. Calculate and convert the amounts.
