NOW FoodsSupplements, Glycine Pure Powder, Promotes Restful Sleep*, Neurotransmitter Support*, 1-Pound

It’s like drugs for your dreams! Very vivid dreams, which are always crazy. Worked on the 2nd night I took it, woke up a little drowsy but finally got a decent night of sleep. Tastes like sugar so great to add to mixed drinks or smoothie. I don’t always get a full night spirit with it but always get vivid dreams. I have mixed feelings about it but it is as advertised.

NOW Supplements Glycine Pure Powder will give you safe, restful sleep. It also has a major calming effect. It, together with a powerful supplement stack I am taking, as changed the quality of my life.I am now experiencing longer, deeper sleep. Insomnia vastly improved. Anxiety is not just diminished, but gone. I no longer suffer from depression, OCD is vastly improved, focus is enhanced, brain fog cleared. I am experiencing weight loss, lost 2 1/2 inches off my waist, and credit all these effects to the glycine, in addition to the supplement stack I am now on. Pre-diabetes and insulin resistance is gone. BP normal. Healthy glucose/AC1/HDL/LDL levels on my blood test. No dietary/exercise changes, but I look and feel 20 years younger. I have energy! My doctor is amazed. 6 weeks is all it took for me.This Glycine powder is pure, has no undesirable taste, and is super easy to talk. I stir it in my coffee with hazelnut non fat, non dairy creamer, and I find it does not change the taste. I like the fact that it is pure glycine, not mixed with additives I find in capsule form. And as it is powder, you can easily take the exact amount you want, so you control your own dosage.I have had a prolonged, challenging rough patch in my life to deal with. Add to that, I'm a chronic insomniac and because of severe PTSD, I suffer from being in a constant state of hyper alertness, with tensed muscles and catch myself with clenched hands and tense shoulder/neck. Trying to lay down and sleep like that is impossible. Trying to just function normally throughout my day was impossible. Trying to function on two or three hours of sleep is impossible. In addition, all this causes high levels of cortisol and adrenaline; I watched my waist expanding. My cholesterol went sky high, my blood pressure soared, and I was diagnosed pre-diabetic.My GP bugged me for over a year to try an Rx, and when I finally caved out of desperation, the prescription medications made my symptoms worse as well as I experienced a few new ones, including frightening hand tremors. Tossed those medications in the trash the first week. I started doing research, tried a few natural supplement combinations that did not worked, and finally found the combination that does. Glycine is an important and integral part of the natural, clinically proven combo that has changed my life.I usually add this Glycine Powder to my midmorning coffee, then again add a bit to a beverage early evening. I immediately feel the calm and experience true relaxation.

I have struggled with getting to sleep and staying asleep for about 10 years. At the recommendation of a friend, I started taking about 3/4 tsp. of glycine half an hour or so before I wanted to go to sleep. From the first night, my mind and body felt more calm and relaxed. My thoughts were no longer racing. It's been about two months and I have added in 1/8 tsp each of GABA and L-Theanine with the glycine, in case they boost my results. My sleep is not perfect but I am now sleeping much better and more deeply. I hope glycine helps you also! :)

Husband uses and likes this brand.

I use this in coffee and juices to add some amino acids and be a little healthier. It mixes really well and doesn't have any taste when used as directed.

I'm so glad I discovered this amazing stuff!! I actually discovered it by reading a book called The Eczema Diet by Karen Fisher...she recommends it to clear up skin issues. Although I don't think this was necessarily the key to clearing up my skin (turns out my eczema was hormone related and using Progesterone cream cleared up all my rashes within less than a week) what it did end up doing was giving me a wonderfully deep night's sleep every single night. Since I am a woman in my early 40's and experiencing certain symptoms like night sweats, waking up to use the restroom in the middle of the night every single night, nightmares/bad dreams every night, I could only attribute this to perhaps experiencing perimenopause. I HIGHLY recommend this to any woman who's also experiencing these sorts of problems w/ female hormonal imbalances. After only a day or two of taking this my night sweats stopped completely, no more bad dreams (I sleep so deeply I don't even recall my dreams, which is better than having nightmares), no more getting up in the middle of the night!! I am a small woman, only about 105lbs and 5'3" tall, so I take the smallest recommended dose of 1/4 teaspoon in my water about 2 hours before bedtime. It says to take on an empty stomach but I find this doesn't work for me since I eat dinner about 2 hours before bed and I don't have the luxury of eating earlier and waiting for my stomach to be "empty" again. So I just drink it during and after my dinner. I have noticed to bad side effects from taking it w/ food. To me, 1/4 teaspoon is PLENTY! I feel that delicious drowsy, sedated feeling coming on about 2 hours after drinking and it enables me to fall asleep very quickly without laying there with my brain turned on "hamster mode" :) I used to lay there awake for an hour or more with my thoughts just spinning and my eyes twitching, watching the clock,etc. Now I sleep like a baby every single night! I've been taking this for about a month now and I will never stop taking it. I even recommended it to my family doctor, who seemed very intrigued and excited to pass the info along to other pre-menopausal and menopausal women. Awesome stuff!!
