Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, so your body can synthesize it on its own. It plays an important role in calcium absorption and protecting muscle cells. Research shows the glycine supplementation may protect the prostate and reduce BPH. My favorite vegetarian sources of glycine are fermented soybeans (like natto), pumpkin, cauliflower, banana, kale, cucumber and spinach.
Proline is very important for healthy skin and collagen. Vegetarian sources of proline are avocado, dairy and eggs, spinach, legumes, soaked whole grains and nutritional yeast.

Hello

I would like to have a recipe for something suitable for vegans. What do you add for the glycine and proline content? Do you know which vegan foods are high in those?

Hello,

I wanted to thank you so much for providing this information and speaking to the topic of bone broth replacements.

For myself and my clients with cavities, I read so much about bone broths and have been looking for a vegetarian alternative.

Thank you!
