Benefits of Glycine

Glycine, Gly (Latin: acidum aminoaceticum), is the smallest and simplest organic compound among all amino acids. It is used for protein synthesis and is an endogenous amino acid that the body can produce itself. Glycine plays important roles in the body, including the nervous system and the motor system. Studies have shown that glycine, as a neurotransmitter, is involved in processing motor and sensory information, enabling movement, vision, and hearing. Additionally, this amino acid participates in collagen synthesis, potentially supporting cartilage regeneration. It has been proven that a severe lack of glycine negatively affects collagen production. A significant amount of glycine needs to be consumed in the diet to meet the demand for collagen synthesis. Research suggests that taking glycine in the evening can improve subjective sleep quality and efficiency, reduce daytime fatigue, and positively affect cognitive functions. Improvements in well-being upon awakening have also been observed, with study participants reporting less fatigue, increased vitality and energy, and improved mental sharpness.

Research on Glycine

Studies have shown that glycine plays an important role in the body's functions, including sleep quality, collagen synthesis, and cognitive functions. A study by Yamadera W. et al. (2007) demonstrated that glycine intake improves subjective sleep quality in volunteers, correlating with polysomnographic changes. Another study by Inagawa K. et al. (2006) found that glycine intake before bedtime improved sleep quality. Additionally, research by de Paz-Lugo P. et al. (2018) showed that high levels of glycine increase collagen synthesis by cartilage cells in vitro and that acute glycine deficiency can be a significant cause of osteoarthritis.

Sources of Glycine

Glycine can be relatively easily obtained through a protein-rich diet. Good sources of this amino acid include meat, fish, dairy products, and vegetables. Supplements are also useful for meeting glycine needs and allow for personalized dosing.

Usage Recommendations

Our product stands out with its high glycine content (1000 mg in one capsule). The recommended daily dose is 3000 mg, which can be achieved by taking 3 capsules. We suggest using the product 1 hour before bedtime. The product can also be taken in liquid form - simply open the capsule, mix it with water, and consume immediately. There is no need to worry about an unpleasant taste as glycine is sweet, so using it in powder form poses no problems.

Cosmic Origin

It is worth noting the visual design of the label on the supplement. You will notice a cosmic theme, which is not there by chance. In 2009, NASA scientists confirmed the presence of glycine in space. It was discovered in samples from the comet Wild 2 that returned with NASA's Stardust mission and provides evidence for the theory that "some building blocks of life formed in space and were delivered to Earth long ago through meteorite and comet impacts."
