=== Biochemical synthesis ===
== References ==
Glycocyamine is formed in the mammalian organism primarily in the ] by transferring the ] of L-arginine by the enzyme ] (AGAT) to the amino acid glycine. From L-arginine, ] is thus produced, which is metabolized in the ] by carbamoylation to ].

In a further step, glycocyamine is methylated to creatine with ] by the enzyme ] (GAMT). The creatine is released into the ].

=== Chemical synthesis ===
Guanidinoacetic acid was first prepared in 1861 by ]<ref>M. Strecker, Jahresber. Fortschr. Chem. Verw., (1861), 530, {{doi|10.1002/jlac.18611180303}}</ref> by reaction of ] with ] in aqueous solution:

]

Glycine can also be converted to glycocyamine with ''S''-methylisothiourea<ref>H.I. Wheeler, H.F. Merriam, J.Amer.Chem.Soc., '''29''' (1903), 478–492.</ref> or with ''O''-alkylisoureas<ref>Alzchem: (PDF; 844&nbsp;kB), Ausgabe 1/2011.</ref> as a guanylation agent.

]

The recent patent literature describes the synthesis of glycocyamine by catalytic oxidation of ] to glycine and subsequent reaction with cyanamide in aqueous solution in high yield, analogous to the synthesis of ] starting from ] via ].<ref>{{Cite patent | country =US | number = 8227638| Typ = | title =Process for preparing creatine, creatine monohydrate and guanidinoacetic acid | A-Datum = | gdate = 2012-07-24| invent1 =F. Thalhammer, T. Gastner | assign1 =Alzchem Trostberg GmbH | DB = }}</ref>

]

This synthetic route suppresses the formation of toxic ] and other undesired by-products (such as ]).

== Properties ==
Industrially produced guanidinoacetic acid is sold as a white (to yellowish) fine powder, which is granulated for improve handling, metering and uptake with starch into aggregates with a mean diameter of 200-400 microns.<ref>{{Cite patent | country =US | number =2010143703 | Typ = | title =Abrasion-resistant free-flowing glycocyamine-containing mouldings and methods for their production | A-Datum = | gdate = 2010-06-10| invent1 =S. Winkler et al. | assign1 = }}</ref> The granulate provides a long-term stability of glycocyamine. The shelf Life of guanidinoacetate in acidic aqueous solution is significantly higher than that of creatine, which cyclizes to ] under acid catalysis.

==Uses==

===As a supplement===
A series of studies showed that a combination of ] and glycocyamine improves the symptoms of patients with chronic illness, including heart disease, without ]. Betaine can provide a ] group to glycocyamine, via ], for the formation of creatine.<ref> Borsook H, Borsook ME. The biochemical basis of betaine-glycocyamine therapy.

Ann West Med Surg 1951;5:856–62.</ref> had improved cardiac function. The patients gained weight (improved ] balance) and saw lessened symptoms of ] and ] and increased ], and those people suffering from ] experienced transient reduced ]. Also the studies shows the increase of glucose tolerance in both diabetic subjects and subjects without diabetes.<ref> {{cite journal |author= Stuart AS Craig |date=September 2004 |title= Betaine in human nutrition |journal= American Journal of Clinical Nutrition |volume=80 |issue=3 |pages=539–549 |url=http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/80/3/539 |access-date=2010-02-10 |pmid= 15321791 |doi=10.1093/ajcn/80.3.539|doi-access=free }}</ref>

=== As a feed additive ===
Guanidinoacetic acid is a nutritional ] approved by ] for chickens for fattening, weaned piglets and pigs for fattening.<ref>COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1768 of 4 October 2016 concerning the authorisation of guanidinoacetic acid as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, weaned piglets and pigs for fattening and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 904/2009</ref> It is supposed to lead with a "vegetarian diet" (meaning without feeding of animal protein) to higher feed conversion, higher weight gain and improved muscle increase already at a low dosage (600 g/to feed).<ref>{{Cite patent | country =EP | number =1758463 | Typ = | title =GUANIDINO ACETIC ACID USED AS AN ANIMAL FOOD ADDITIVE | A-Datum = | gdate =2007-12-26 | invent1 = T. Gastner, H.-P. Krimmer| assign1 =Degussa AG | DB = }}.</ref>

Possible benefits of glycocyamine supplementation can not yet be conclusively assessed, neither in other breeding, fattening and domestic animals nor for high-performance athletes, analogous to the glycocyamine metabolite creatine. The simultaneous intake of methyl providing substances such as ] appears advisable because of the risk of ] formation with glycocyamine alone.<ref>S.M. Ostojic et al., ''Co-administration of methyl donors along with guanidinoacetic acid reduces the incidence of hyperhomocysteinaemia compared with guanidinoacetic acid administration alone'', Br. J. Nutr. (2013), Jan 28:1-6 {{doi| 10.1017/S0007114512005879}}</ref>
