Glycine is used for treating schizophrenia, stroke, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and some rare inherited metabolic disorders.  It is also used to protect kidneys from the harmful side effects of certain drugs used after organ transplantation as well as the liver from harmful effects of alcohol.

Glycine is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest stable amino acid (carbamic acid is unstable), with the chemical formula NH2‐CH2‐COOH. Glycine is one of the proteinogenic amino acids. It is encoded by all the codons starting with GG (GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG). Glycine is integral to the formation of alpha-helices in secondary protein structure due to its compact form. For the same reason, it is the most abundant amino acid in collagen triple-helices. Glycine is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter – interference with its release within the spinal cord (such as during a Clostridium tetani infection) can cause spastic paralysis due to uninhibited muscle contraction.

Glycine reagent is added to a water sample to selectively neutralize chlorine, allowing for the determination of ozone levels
 
 
In the Palintest photometer test for ozone, the DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) reagent reacts with both ozone and chlorine, producing a colored solution. By adding glycine, the chlorine is neutralized, and the color produced then corresponds only to the ozone present. 
 
 
The reagent is compatible with Palintest photometers and test kits and is suitable for use with swimming pools, spas, drinking water, and industrial water. 

Glycine is used for treating schizophrenia, stroke, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and some rare inherited metabolic disorders. It is also used to protect kidneys from the harmful side effects of certain drugs used after organ transplantation as well as the liver from harmful effects of alcohol.

Glycine, like arginine, is a conditional amino acid, so your body may need more of it from time to time. This amino acid quickly penetrates deep into the inner layers of the skin barrier—down to the dermis, which contains the skin-strengthening protein collagen. Once there, glycine helps stimulate collagen production.
