Solgar Glycine 500mg Veg. Capsules Pack of 100

Terrific amino acid supplement. I take it before I go to sleep. I sometimes take during the day if stressed or stressed from pain rather than taking a pain pill or over the counter that can cause internal bleeding. Maybe a few times a month. Glycine helps mood within 10 minutes, memory, muscle pain, suppresses inflammation and more. It’s also inexpensive. I have taken Solgar’s glycine for over 5 years and my body doesn’t crave it or require more. Solgar’s price on Amazon is quite reasonable. I also take L Arganine @ Ornithine or beet to lower my bp. I had been on 3 meds which didn’t budge my pressure much. I added this to my main presc and my bp stays well under 130/75. I take it along w the glycine before bed. I moved from NYC to a small area in Vermont a few years ago. I could go down the street for these in NY but there are no vitamin or supp shops in Vermont and I can get these on Amazon. Hope this helps someone.

I take this product with Magnesium (Bis)glycinate at bedtime for good, deep sleep. Capsule has the standard size, goes down easily, has no taste. Glycine is a non-essential amino acid (it can be made in the body and is not required from the diet) that acts as a neurotransmitter. Several small clinical trials have evaluated the effects of glycine supplementation for improving sleep and for reducing nighttime urinary frequency in people with overactive bladder, chronic prostatitis, and/or bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis. A study among eleven men and women with self-reported unsatisfactory sleep found that 3 grams of glycine taken one hour before bedtime significantly improved self-reported sleep quality and shortened the time it took to fall asleep (as measured by brain wave, heart rate and breathing monitors) compared to placebo. Two other very small studies found that 3 grams of glycine taken one hour before bedtime improved self-reported sleep quality and/or decreased next-day fatigue. No adverse events were reported. A study in Japan among 16 men and four women (average age 67) with mild to moderate overactive bladder, chronic prostatitis and/or bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis found that 3 grams of glycine taken twice daily for one month modestly reduced nighttime urinary urgency and frequency (but not during the day), and slightly improved overall scores on an assessment of overactive bladder symptoms (a decrease of about 1 point on a 15-point scale) and self-reported "vitality" compared to placebo. In addition, glycine supplementation slightly reduced the amount of time it took to fall asleep and modestly decreased bladder pain as well as and systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to baseline, but these improvements were not statistically significant compared to placebo (Sugaya, J Complement Integr Med 2021).

So far I like this product. I take 2 in the morning on empty stomach since it says take between meals. It has time to work throughout the day so by the evening I start feeling sleepy.

Great quality highly recommended by functional medicine. Taken one in the morning the rest at night. Sleep so sound like a baby! No after taste, so easy to swallow, and brand recommend also by functional medicine for best absorption. You will thank me later for sure!

Very good. Thanks
