Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid that serves as both an inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitter. It is the chemically simplest and most omnipresent of all the amino acids. It combines with many toxic substances, converting them to harmless forms which are then excreted.206,207

This amino acid may have a calming effect on the brain and might also involved in growth.208-219 Research suggests that glycine may help promote deeper sleep.209,210 Glycine appears to have a positive impact on attention and memory in adults.220-223 Glycine may also help boost the immune defense system and has oxidative stress regulating effects.224-227

Most people need to take between one to three grams of glycine to be effective even though studies show high doses are safe.228,229 However, most glycine products are only available in 500 mg capsules. That makes taking higher doses cumbersome and costly.
