Nutricost Glycine Powder 1lb - Non-GMO, Gluten Free

I’m pleased with this glycine powder. Previously I had tried capsules but they were 500mg each and from my research it seems like the minimum effective dose for this stuff is around 3 grams. 6 capsules are tough to swallow, literally and figuratively, and the fillers made them a bit annoying to add to water. Some of the more ‘premium’ supplement brands seem to WAY overcharge for this stuff. This is a loose crystalline powder, almost like table sugar but not quite as sweet. It dissolves super easily and stays in solution, I’ve been adding a scoop or two to plain hot water about an hour before bed and it makes for a nice subtly sweet tea. Sometimes I’ll add chamomile but honestly just having it plain is nice. I think of Nutricost as a pretty reputable commodity supplement brand, so for something like Glycine that’s easy/cheap to produce and shelf-stable I trust that what I’m getting is what’s on the tub. There’s not much of a financial incentive for them to try to counterfeit - nothing against Nutricost, I just am forever wary of supplement companies. I do feel like it ‘works’, though it could just be a placebo. My sleep has felt deeper, I absolutely do not wake up in the night when I take this unless I desperately have to go to the bathroom (honestly I’ve been slightly worried I might wet the bed lol). Long term benefits for longevity/joint health are pretty much impossible for me to detect so I’m not even trying, but the literature is convincing enough for me. Plus it’s just an amino acid so I don’t worry too much about overdoing it. It’s a ton of product for a solid price and seems effective and authentic, so I recommend!

The Science behind this Amino Acid is amazing! From better/more restful sleep, to anti-inflammatory to longevity! I take 6 grams/day. 3 with my daily smoothie & 3 grams 30 mins to 1 hour before bed. Love it! By the way, it doesn't taste nasty at all. Very sweet! The Nutricost brand is a good value & is 3rd. party tested!

I bought this (Glycine) hearing about it on the web. I was skeptical, but the product seemed safe to use daily and inexpensive. This is my second week using it and thus far it has been very effective. It definitely helps me fall asleep quicker, sleep more soundly and get a bit more out of those +/- 7hrs. I track my sleep via a fitbit and judging by those numbers I seem to gain 30-45mins of extra sleep with 10-20 of those being allocated to deep sleep and/or REM. Weekly, that's an extra 4.5hrs. of sleep with roughly 50 mins of deep sleep and REM each. If you can also manage to go to bed half an hour earlier (not a huge sacrifice), that's like adding an hour, hour fifteen of sleep daily. I mix it with 5-6oz of water and it dissolves fairly easily. As others have mentioned, it basically tastes like sugar water so the flavor is very tolerable.

I just started this product. It will take a while to decide anything. So far so good 👍 Why did you pick this product vs others?: My sister looked into it and suggested it to me. Effectiveness: I'm feeling better but have only been using a week. Quality: It seem to be very good. Dissolves easily: Quickly and completely dissolves. Tastes sweet. Health benefits: Its suppose to help heal damaged tissue. We'll see what we will see.

This supplement has helped my sleep tremendously. I’m on my third order and will never be without it. I trust Nutricost and find the quality is dependable.

Tastes slightly sweet, take it every day before bed and think it helps me sleep better

Started buying this because I was progressing really fast in the gym weight wise/ growing my muscles & gaining strength. However, my tendons & ligaments needed to catch up. Calves being the primary cause - I doubled the weight I was doing calf raises with in about 2 months. My feet were dying - so painful in my arches & knees. Then I discovered that glycine can help with that, and lucky for me I already had this at home bc I heard it was good for sleep (can’t really tell if it works in that way for me because I combined it with a few other sleepy supps but I digress). The pain relief is amazing. I’m now on my second container. I take 5-15g a day (one heaping scoop has always weighed out to 5g for me with a kitchen scale). You don’t need to take that much, but I haven’t had any gastrointestinal problems and it’s really helped me a lot. So definitely start small and work your way up if you would like - do your research on amounts for what your goals are (chatgpt ftw). It also has a sweet taste but has no sugar or carbs. So it’s perfect if you’re doing keto or low carb. It dissolves very easy into anything you put it in so I put it in things like protein shakes, tea, my morning chia water, and more. I do 5g 3x a day and that works well for me. The only thing I don’t like is that the price has gone up significantly since I bought the first container (I think it was $20 or so and now it’s like $26). With that being said - the quality is great and I will continue to buy it at this increased price because it is still very much worth it. Would love a coupon though if you’re reading this at Nutricost ;))

Looks and tastes like table sugar but gives me a great night sleep. No brain fog in the am. Also, if I do wake up later, I can fall back asleep. Look it up on your favorite AI system for specific info for you. Mine was a great help for me to decide to buy it. I am 75years old.

Received quickly and in good condition. Sleeping better.

Buen producto. Gracias
