Nutritionist Claims 95% of Adults Chronically Deficient in Critical Amino Acid

What was said

"95% of adults are running on a shortage of this amino acid chronically. Our body makes 3 grams. In our diet, most people get between 1.5 and 2 grams, and that leaves us in the red or in the hole by 10 grams of this nutrient every single day."

The speaker argues that glycine, classified as non-essential, is actually critically deficient in nearly all adults at a shortfall of 10 grams daily. The deficiency stems from modern diets abandoning nose-to-tail eating, which provided collagen—the primary source of glycine—while standard meat, eggs, and fish provide minimal amounts.
