Article: Benefits of Glycine Supplementation

[Nelson Vergel]

I have been using Glycine since Jerry Brainum mentioned for improving sleep, I take 3gr at night along with melatonin and magnesium, it works well, sometime I switch to Taurine and my favorite L-tryptophan

Will try it soon for sleep. 3 grams per night.

I'm still using it!! I buy now Bulksupplemtent Glycine in powder form, I probably take about 4/5gr.

To add to the article you posted, is that if we eat an omnivore or carnivore diet, and we don't include things like bone broth or any animal connective tissue, we are likely to need extra glycine.

In my experience, Glycine in higher doses may actually impede sleep.
L-Glutamine, 5-10 grams before bed, is much more reliable in providing a deeper more relaxed and more restorative sleep.
These two are for sleep maintenance, not for falling asleep. Neither can make me fall asleep the way Ambien does but L-Glutamine does improve sleep deepness on Ambien.
