Sarcosine

Sarcosine, also known chemically as N-methylglycine, is a naturally occurring non-proteinogenic amino acid and a derivative of glycine. It is produced in the body during the metabolism of choline and the breakdown of methionine. Naturally present in small amounts in everyday foods such as egg yolks, turkey, and legumes, it is also synthesized as a dietary supplement. In the clinical and wellness space, sarcosine is frequently explored as a brain health supplement due to its potential pharmacological activity in supporting cognitive and psychiatric conditions.
