Glycine

Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid with an unusually sweet taste and powerful effects on sleep quality, collagen production, and cellular protection.

Sleep Without Sedation

Multiple clinical studies show that 3 g of glycine before bed improves sleep quality, reduces time to fall asleep, and enhances next-day cognitive performance — without the grogginess associated with sleep medications. It works by lowering core body temperature.

Collagen Building Block

Glycine makes up roughly one-third of all collagen. Supplementing glycine (alongside vitamin C) supports your body's production of this critical structural protein for joints, skin, and connective tissue.

Detoxification Support

Glycine is a precursor to glutathione and supports Phase II liver detoxification. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
