GLY Forte is a combination of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and glandular extracts traditionally used in organotherapy. B vitamins help mediate hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.¹ Niacin, thiamine and biotin help to provide substrates for energy production in the Krebs cycle, while vitamin B₆, vitamin B₁₂ and folate are involved in the conversion of homocysteine into methionine for protein production.¹ Vitamin C is also involved in metabolic reactions as a co-substrate for several enzymes.¹ It is necessary for the synthesis of carnitine, which transports fatty acids to the mitochondria for energy production.¹ As a necessary component for the synthesis of collagen, the primary structural protein found in connective tissue, vitamin C also has a role in wound healing.^1,2 As the most important aqueous antioxidant, vitamin C donates electrons to prevent free radical damage to DNA.¹ It can also increase the use of selenium, another member of the antioxidant defence system.¹ Both selenium and iodine are both primarily found in the thyroid gland.³ Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate macronutrient metabolism and the growth and development of the body.³
