A research conducted at the Cellular Metabolism Institute in Tenerife, suggest that lack of amino acid in the body is responsible for all kinds of degenerative diseases such as arthrosis or osteoporosis. Amino acid is found in fish, meat and diary products.The researchers studied the effect of the glycine supplement included in the diet of 600 volunteers. Diseases relating to the mechanical structure of the organism affected these volunteers.

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid used by the organism to synthesise proteins and is present in foods such as fish, meat or dairy products. The study, carried out at the Cellular Metabolism Institute in Tenerife and at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Granada by Doctor Patricia de Paz Lugo and supervised by Doctors Enrique Melendez Hevia, David Melendez Morales and Jose Antonio Lupianez Cara, established that the direct intake of this substance as a food additive helps to prevent arthrosis and other degenerative diseases, in addition to other diseases related to a weakness in the mechanical structure of the organism, including the difficulty of repairing physical injuries.

The work of De Paz Lugo was developed at the Cellular Metabolism Institute (CMI) in Tenerife, where researchers studied the effect of the glycine supplement on the diet of a group of 600 volunteers affected by different diseases related to the mechanical structure of the organism such as arthrosis, physical injuries or osteoporosis. The patients analysed were aged 4-85, and the average age was 45.
