From my understanding, the main issue is impaired synthesis of glycine due to impaired/suppressed? genes. if you have that, you'd have to dramatically reduce oxalates to the point where it causes other problems. smarter to supplement glycine.


> supplement glycine

From the looks of it, the increased consumption of glycine supplements won't affect oxalate. Yes, glycine/oxalate ratio would be improved, but this would not decrease the amounts of oxalate. So the associated problems related to the excess of oxalate would persist.
