Glycine Powder 1lb - Non-GMO, Gluten Free

I've been using this Nutricost Glycine Powder for about a month now, taking 3g (one scoop) mixed in warm water or herbal tea about 30-45 minutes before bed. The difference in my sleep is pretty impressive. I fall asleep faster, stay asleep through the night without waking up as much, and wake up feeling more refreshed instead of groggy. I've also noticed it helps with relaxation in the evening — nothing dramatic like a sleeping pill, but a gentle, natural calm that I really like. Some mornings I even feel like my skin looks a bit better, which makes sense since glycine is a major component of collagen. Pros: - Dissolves pretty well (especially in warm liquids — cold water takes more stirring) - Very mild, slightly sweet taste (almost like a light sweetener, not bad at all) - Huge 1lb container — at one scoop a day, this lasts around 5 months. Excellent value - Pure, no fillers, non-GMO, gluten-free, and 3rd-party tested - Scoop is included and accurate The powder is very fine and mixes easily once you get the hang of it. I usually stir it into chamomile tea or just warm water with a bit of lemon. No stomach issues or weird side effects for me. If you're looking for a simple, affordable way to support better sleep quality and recovery, this is a solid choice. Highly recommend starting with the suggested dose and seeing how your body responds. Would buy again without hesitation.

I’ve been adding Nutricost Glycine Powder to my nightly routine for a few weeks now, and the difference in my sleep quality is night and day. I used to toss and turn for an hour before drifting off, but now I feel a natural, calm sleepiness kick in shortly after taking it. The powder is ultra-fine and dissolves almost instantly in water or tea. It has a very mild, slightly sweet taste that isn't overpowering at all. I love that Nutricost provides a huge supply at a very affordable price point—you really get the best bang for your buck without sacrificing quality or purity. If you’re looking for a clean, effective supplement to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep through the night, this is a 10/10. I’ll definitely be keeping this as a permanent part of my stack!

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!

I hardly write a review but this one I think I really have to. It is a good product I’ve used some other supplement from this brand. And it worked for the reason why I bought it. BUT my boy reacted differently to this product. I’ve have this for 15 days now. The first 5 days, I took 1.5 grams in the morning and 1.5 grams 1 hr before going to bed. On the 1st night I sleep through the night , I can tell it’s a deep sleep. I woke up not feeling groggy or tired. But on the 3rd day I noticed I feel blah as in flat. No motivation, kinda depressed and the worst thing I feel very calm to the point that I cannot feel anything. I mean not happy not sad no sympathy or apathy nothing. I cannot think what I want to do. Then I stopped taking it for 5 days. When I started taking it again, I just took it 1.5 grams before bed just to see how my body will react, the same thing happen I sleep well to the point that finally I slept for 8 hrs. But I started feeling depressed again and can’t think . At this point I decided that my body doesn’t react well to this. I’m sad because this help with my sleep and my knee doesn’t hurt when I take this. But the reaction it give to my emotional being is very bad I cannot continue taking this product.

I purchased this supplement to help with my sleep. I can tell it has a noticeable calming affect and I feel that it helps me sleep deeper. However, the taste is weird and kind of hard to drink. It does not dissolve well in water and requires a lot of stirring. But I imagine this would be true of any glycine supplement.

This stuff works! I have RA and fibromyalgia and I am always waking around 2-3 a.m. and have trouble getting back to sleep. I also have trouble with getting to sleep because I can't shut my brain down. It's awful and lack of sleep makes my conditions much worse. This stuff stopped the lying away and I no longer wake in the middle of the night. If I do wake up, I'm able to fall back to sleep quickly. I'm completely blown away by how well it works. First you need to know it is a powder with a small measuring cup. This is not in pill form Start with half the cup for about a week. You need to know how it affects you. I tried full dose at first and was so groggy the next morning. Once I backed it down and did half for a week, I moved up to the full scoop. No more grogginess. Also, don't plan on taking this at 8 and sitting up till midnight and getting up at 6. You will need to allow for at least 8 hrs sleep. Otherwise you're wasting your money. I tried it in water and hated it. So, I've put in in iced tea, coffee, orange juice, and lemonade. Stir it well and it will dissolve. Best in hot drinks better but I use a straw in cold stuff and stir each time I drink it. It taste like a sugar and acts like one. It may have some clumps in the jar but I've found they break up just like sugar does. Lack of sleep affects my pain levels, so getting better sleep makes a difference to my pain levels. Pain relief is not the reason to take it.

Looking for a good night's sleep? This is the way to go. Non-addictive, no side effects. I feel bright and alert the next morning. Good stuff! Better than melatonin based on my experience.

this is my first time taking glycine - so i have nothing to compare it to. it was sweet, which surprised me. i appreciated that it comes with the scoop of the exact dose, so i didnt have to find something to measure and guess with. i have no idea if i have had any side effects to it. it mixes in water pretty well. i am unclear of its effectiveness, but its pretty easy to use. i an unsure of any digestive effects to report, and i do not believe my skin has improved but maybe it has. again, i do not know if i have been affected by any side effects but it seems to be fine for me. i usually take it in the morning with nac, and sometimes i take it at night. both have worked fine for me. i haven’t noticed any stomach issues or any other side effects. maybe with longer use i will notice my skin improving.

Good product does exactly what it says in tin.

Buena presentación y buen producto. Tengo unos días de uso. Podré complementar efecto después de un mayor tiempo.

Received quickly and in good condition. Sleeping better.
