I'm looking to add some glycine to my diet to support joints / tendons and for it's potential anti-inflammatory cardio-protective properties.
I'm wondering if I should go with L-Glycine, Porcine Gelatin, or Bovine Hydrolyzed Collagen (or something else?) It seems like bovine collagen might be the best absorbed and supply glycine with proline / hydroxyproline in a nice balance with other amino acids and peptides, but I'm ever so slightly concerned about BSE / Prions. I see a few versions of Marine Collagen for sale that look interesting, and soy protein isolate actually looks decent for vegetable-sourced glycine.
What's the safest / healthiest way to supplement glycine over my diet? Are there any potential negatives to supplementing a pure L-glycine powder longterm?
