glycine propionyl-L-carnitine

Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine is a dietary supplement consisting of a molecularly bonded combination of propionyl-L-carnitine and the amino acid glycine. It acts as a prodrug, leading to increased levels of glycine, carnitine, and propionic acid in the body. Its main investigated effects are as a nitric oxide stimulant (increasing blood nitrate/nitrite, a surrogate marker of nitric oxide), antioxidant (reducing lipid peroxidation), and as a potential ergogenic aid to enhance anaerobic power output and reduce exercise-related lactate buildup. Research suggests its vasodilatory and potential antioxidant properties may improve blood flow and reduce oxidative stress during and after strenuous exercise. GPLC is mainly marketed and used as a dietary supplement, especially among athletes and those aiming to improve exercise performance or vascular health[1][5][7][9].
