Summary: We show that the symmetrization of a brace algebra structure yields the structure of a symmetric brace algebra. We also show that the symmetrization of the natural brace structure on ${⨁}_{k\ge 1}Hom(V^{\otimes k},V)$ coincides with the natural symmetric brace structure on ${⨁}_{k\ge 1}Hom{(V^{\otimes k},V)}^{as}$, the direct sum of spaces of antisymmetric maps $V^{\otimes k}\to V$.
