NOW Supplements, Glycine Powder, Cognitive Support*, 1 lb

I have a lot of health issues from several chronic injuries and illnesses all of which have made sleeping much more difficult. I’ve tried several supplements that have been touted to promote better sleep and none have ever helped me, but glycine has actually been helpful for me. I personally take anywhere from 3-9 grams before bed depending on how I’m feeling and it seems to help me fall asleep easier and sleep better. I even seem to remember dreams more often when I’m taking it. And it has a very sweet taste for anyone concerned about drinking a powder. While this hasn’t been a cure all to my issues with sleep and feeling rested in the morning, it’s still an improvement.

This glycine works really well for me. It has a sweet sugar like taste which it's supposed to and it makes me feel like I sleep better when I take it right before bed. Take about a teaspoon or even one and a half teaspoons or even two teaspoons and I seem to sleep better and wake up feeling much better than normal when I do that. Research actually backs that up it's not just me it happens to other people as well it seems to improve Sleep Quality somehow partially by acting on the glycine receptors and lowering signs of stress in the body. It's probably lowering inflammation as well. Glacing as many important uses in the body and it's one of the most important amino acids that I would actually characterize it as essential/semi-essential because it's notoriously low in the human diet. m Most people need about three times more glycine than they get in their diet to feel optimal. It seems like about maybe 3/4 of people respond really well to it and maybe one quarter of people don't I don't know? It's also very important for bile acid conjugation and it's a necessary component of glutathione. It's also a major Beauty nutrient because your skin is made of 1/3 glycine amino acid approximately. All your connective tissues need glycine and it is a major antioxidant and protective molecule I believe it's also utilized in the detoxification of toxins (glycine conjugation and glutathione).

I keep buying it. I started this when I turned 55 in February. The first time I took it I may have taken too much too soon. I needed a bathroom close by the first day. I rolled back the dose and increased it gradually over two weeks and no issues. I was taking it with magnesium at night and it was the first time in a year I slept thru the night with out waking up. The last year I couldn't sleep and if I did i always woke up around 4 am and had to pee. The other thing my pee was always weak like i couldn't get it out. All this changed in 2 weeks. No more middle of the night potty breaks and no more weak flow. That right there impressed me and made me feel better. After a month I realized I could stand on my right leg only. Something I couldn't do. My knee would hurt so bad and couldn't hold me. I can figure skate and my knee doesn't freak out or feel like it is breaking anymore. Now for my blood sugar. I was borderline I have worked with out any meds and changed my diet to lower it. I spent a year no carbs I was able to get the number down but I was still clocking in between 100 to 110 every morning. If I ate something it would shoot up over 140 usually. Then after month of Now Glycine I woke up and my number was 96. I was so excited I am consistently under 100 every morning I am down in the 80s I even got a lil scared as I have hit 70s. Don't want that number to get into the 60s, to low of blood sugar can spell immediate danger. I have been eating some sugar and carbs again but with plenty of veggies and fruit, the glucose is staying good and same with my weight. I overall feel great! co workers even said I look healthier.

NOW Supplements Glycine Pure Powder will give you safe, restful sleep. It also has a major calming effect. It, together with a powerful supplement stack I am taking, as changed the quality of my life. I am now experiencing longer, deeper sleep. Insomnia vastly improved. Anxiety is not just diminished, but gone. I no longer suffer from depression, OCD is vastly improved, focus is enhanced, brain fog cleared. I am experiencing weight loss, lost 2 1/2 inches off my waist, and credit all these effects to the glycine, in addition to the supplement stack I am now on. Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance is gone. BP normal. Healthy glucose/AC1/HDL/LDL levels on my blood test. No dietary/exercise changes, but I look and feel 20 years younger. I have energy! My doctor is amazed. 6 weeks is all it took for me. This Glycine powder is pure, has no undesirable taste, and is super easy to talk. I stir it in my coffee with hazelnut non fat, non dairy creamer, and I find it does not change the taste. I like the fact that it is pure glycine, not mixed with additives I find in capsule form. And as it is powder, you can easily take the exact amount you want, so you control your own dosage. I have had a prolonged, challenging rough patch in my life to deal with. Add to that, I'm a chronic insomniac and because of severe PTSD, I suffer from being in a constant state of hyper alertness, with tensed muscles and catch myself with clenched hands and tense shoulder/neck. Trying to lay down and sleep like that is impossible. Trying to just function normally throughout my day was impossible. Trying to function on two or three hours of sleep is impossible. In addition, all this causes high levels of cortisol and adrenaline; I watched my waist expanding. My cholesterol went sky high, my blood pressure soared, and I was diagnosed pre-diabetic. My GP bugged me for over a year to try an Rx, and when I finally caved out of desperation, the prescription medications made my symptoms worse as well as I experienced a few new ones, including frightening hand tremors. Tossed those medications in the trash the first week. I started doing research, tried a few natural supplement combinations that did not worked, and finally found the combination that does. Glycine is an important and integral part of the natural, clinically proven combo that has changed my life. I usually add this Glycine Powder to my midmorning coffee, then again add a bit to a beverage early evening. I immediately feel the calm and experience true relaxation.

I’ve had a good experience with Glycine Powder. It mixes well and has a slightly sweet taste, which makes it easy to take before bed. Not sure if it’s placebo, but I feel like I’ve been sleeping better since using it. My Apple Watch sleep scores have been solid too. Overall, simple and effective.

Pure and helps me sleep

This works well for sleep. If my magnesium glycinate isn’t helping I add this and it doesn’t give you a drowsy feeling the next day

Easy to take, mixes well with tea. It doesn't totally dissolve but I don't mind stirring my tea a few times while I am drinking it. It is nice to have this in a powder form. It has a sweet taste so when I put it in my tea, I don't need to add any sweeteners.

Pretty Calming and relaxing

This worked very well for me! After taking it I would sleep more soundly and even started having dreams again

I sleep peacefully after taking a tea spoon of it. Next day when i wake up, it doesn't make me feel still sleepy

Es la tercer noche que la uso y ya sea por efecto placebo o no sé pero si que funciona, no es que te haga dormir de inmediato pero el sueño en la noche es más reparador según mi pulsera de seguimiento al sueño y descanso

Glycine is considered to be one of the more essential supplements out there. Cheaper than some. I'm told that it does the job of a lot of the more expensive ones. My understanding is that it helps in the metabolization of other amino acids, functions that you might lose with age. At any rate, I have slept better since I began using it. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I think I'll continue using it.
