NOW Foods Supplements, Glycine 1,000 mg Free-Form, Neurotransmitter Support*, 100 Veg Capsules

Glycine is an amino acid that plays a role in many important functions in the body, including supporting healthy neurotransmitter activity, relaxation, and overall wellness. I appreciate having a simple, clean formula that makes it easy to add glycine support without unnecessary ingredients. The capsules are easy to take, and the 1,000 mg serving provides a convenient amount in each capsule. I also like that NOW Foods has a strong reputation for quality supplements and that this product is made with a straightforward ingredient list. The bottle contains a generous supply, making it a good value for regular use. If you're looking for a reliable glycine supplement to support your wellness routine, this is a great option from a trusted brand. I would definitely purchase it again.

This is working really well for me. I'm taking 2 or 3 at bedtime along with a capsule of GABA, also the Now brand, and in the last couple of weeks I've often slept 7 hours straight through, which has been extremely difficult to do for several years. If I do wake up after 5-6 hours and want to sleep longer, I've been able to go right back to sleep. A sleep mask is essential since my room can't be darkened, and I often switch on my white noise machine, set to ocean waves, and I'm out in just a few minutes. I've tried other things that have helped, both herbs and supplements, but I keep trying new things to see what they'll do for me. Since glycine is just an amino acid, it seems very safe to me. The price is right, too! If you're interested in other things to try, here's what has helped in the past (some I currently use or may use again): > Magnesium (Essential for hundreds of processes in your body, most of us are deficient, and it's very helpful for relaxing at bedtime--I've used it for years. The "Got Mag" website recommends 5x your bodyweight in milligrams daily, and also gives advice for the types most helpful and easily absorbed.) > Vitamin D3 plus K2 for absorption (I take 5,000-10,000 IU of D3 per day, in the morning to mimic sunlight. Be careful--it can keep you up if you take it too late in the day.) > Lavender oil (dab some on your wrists and put your hands near your face) > Valerian, or a valerian/hops/chamomile combo > Some homeopathic formulas have been helpful in the past, but they don't seem to do much now > 5-HTP > Tryptophan > GABA > Melatonin (Can be tricky--used to work great, but now seems to have the opposite effect on me if I use it for several days in a row. Some of the products above are precursors to melanonin and I've read that your body converts them to as much as you need--so maybe that's why they work better for me.) > A spoonful of honey before bed (Google it...I still do this most nights) > The adrenal cocktail (Google it...it worked for a while, but my cortisol tends to be too high and I think it works better for those with low cortisol) Since my window shades let in too much street light, I always use a sleep mask, turn the thermostat down to stay cool, and am trying to restrict use of electronics before bed (screens send a blast of blue light into your eyes/brain). I have f.lux (a free program installed on my PC) and that helps, but really you're supposed to avoid all electronics or bright lights for at least an hour before bed. Some wear blue-blocking glasses in the evening. Other things that would help, but which I usually can't do, are getting sunshine, a bit of exercise, and barefoot walking in the early part of the day. Going to bed the moment you get sleepy is very important, but I'm still working on this. If I push through that initial sleepiness because it's "too early," as I too often do, I get a "second wind" (which I now know is a surge of cortisol) and then it may be hours before I get sleepy again. Then I also wake up too early, and it's a vicious cycle. This is all related to stressed adrenal glands/poor adrenal function, and you can learn more by reading Dr. Wilson's book http://www.amazon.com/Adrenal-Fatigue-Century-Stress-Syndrome/dp/1890572152/ or Dr. Christianson's book http://www.amazon.com/Adrenal-Reset-Diet-Strategically-Proteins/dp/0804140537/ or just searching online for information. The quiz at [...] is a good start. Sweet dreams!

I have struggled with insomnia on and off for years. I currently need unisom to sleep but I got to where I couldn’t go back to sleep after waking up with my baby throughout the night. Ever since trying this, I ALWAYS go back to sleep! 🙌🏻 I still wake throughout the night, but I just had a baby so my hormones are still crazy. This plus magnesium glycinate have helped so so much. Great product! Look up podcasts on glycine, it’s FULL of benefits. May help with inflammation, migraines/headaches, joint pain and so on. It is currently helping my sister-in-law with energy, sleep and migraines.

Will relax you for sleep

I picked up this Glycine supplement as reading indicated it could be helpful for sleep issues. I also read that it is recommended for men prior to having any prostrate problems so thought I would give it a try. While I can't say it promotes greatly improved sleep, I have noticed that any nightime trips to the bathroom are done faster and I do get back to sleep more quickly than in the past. At this time I'm only taking 1000mg dose half hour before bedtime even though I've seen up to 3000mg dosage is frequently recommended. I haven't paid much attention to any other benefit that glycine may be providing so can't speak to those. I do believe it has been helpful and I'll continue using it. Checking around for other options there are some lower cost choices; however I have rarely had any problems with NOW supplements so I'd certainly recommend giving it a try to see if may help with your problem. For now I do believe it is helpful and will certainly buy again when this bottle runs out.

Excellent product! I rarely write a review. But after only a few days I can see a significant improvement in my sleep and I’m even more relaxed during the day. Will continue to use and definitely reorder.

Please everyone try this for pain...it works! Take on empty stomach. Takes a week or so to build up in body, natural, no side effects!

I use 2 of these and the quality of sleep is awesome. I get that time distortion where a few hours feels like a whole night. Also remember dreams much better so hitting that REM stage a lot more. I tried 3 pills but started having nightmares. Will try 3 pills again in the future and see if any better improvement. But this is a game changer that’s helped so much. Sleep dreams are now an adventure where before it was “go to sleep and wake up,” feel.

Great supplement for anti aging. Works well with NAC

as described by seller

これとGABA飲み始めてから調子いい日が多いです 2錠飲んだら次の日に響くのでその時の体調で調整しようと思います 粒が大きいので苦手な人は苦手かもしれません

ممتاز للنوم

First update after buying a week ago: Sleep quality has improved, event though I am still waking up at 5 am. But sleep is very restful. Will update after a few months
