Glycine Powder 1lb - Non-GMO, Gluten Free

Received quickly and in good condition. Sleeping better.

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!

Buen producto. Gracias

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!

Sabe a azúcar de mesa, ligeramente dulce.

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.
