NOW Foods Supplements, Glycine 1,000 mg Free-Form, Neurotransmitter Support*, 100 Veg Capsules

This Glycine is a great product. Can help keep the body cool, help with sleep and calm the system. Also can be good for the nervous system.

This is working really well for me. I'm taking 2 or 3 at bedtime along with a capsule of GABA, also the Now brand, and in the last couple of weeks I've often slept 7 hours straight through, which has been extremely difficult to do for several years. If I do wake up after 5-6 hours and want to sleep longer, I've been able to go right back to sleep. A sleep mask is essential since my room can't be darkened, and I often switch on my white noise machine, set to ocean waves, and I'm out in just a few minutes. I've tried other things that have helped, both herbs and supplements, but I keep trying new things to see what they'll do for me. Since glycine is just an amino acid, it seems very safe to me. The price is right, too! If you're interested in other things to try, here's what has helped in the past (some I currently use or may use again): > Magnesium (Essential for hundreds of processes in your body, most of us are deficient, and it's very helpful for relaxing at bedtime--I've used it for years. The "Got Mag" website recommends 5x your bodyweight in milligrams daily, and also gives advice for the types most helpful and easily absorbed.) > Vitamin D3 plus K2 for absorption (I take 5,000-10,000 IU of D3 per day, in the morning to mimic sunlight. Be careful--it can keep you up if you take it too late in the day.) > Lavender oil (dab some on your wrists and put your hands near your face) > Valerian, or a valerian/hops/chamomile combo > Some homeopathic formulas have been helpful in the past, but they don't seem to do much now > 5-HTP > Tryptophan > GABA > Melatonin (Can be tricky--used to work great, but now seems to have the opposite effect on me if I use it for several days in a row. Some of the products above are precursors to melanonin and I've read that your body converts them to as much as you need--so maybe that's why they work better for me.) > A spoonful of honey before bed (Google it...I still do this most nights) > The adrenal cocktail (Google it...it worked for a while, but my cortisol tends to be too high and I think it works better for those with low cortisol) Since my window shades let in too much street light, I always use a sleep mask, turn the thermostat down to stay cool, and am trying to restrict use of electronics before bed (screens send a blast of blue light into your eyes/brain). I have f.lux (a free program installed on my PC) and that helps, but really you're supposed to avoid all electronics or bright lights for at least an hour before bed. Some wear blue-blocking glasses in the evening. Other things that would help, but which I usually can't do, are getting sunshine, a bit of exercise, and barefoot walking in the early part of the day. Going to bed the moment you get sleepy is very important, but I'm still working on this. If I push through that initial sleepiness because it's "too early," as I too often do, I get a "second wind" (which I now know is a surge of cortisol) and then it may be hours before I get sleepy again. Then I also wake up too early, and it's a vicious cycle. This is all related to stressed adrenal glands/poor adrenal function, and you can learn more by reading Dr. Wilson's book http://www.amazon.com/Adrenal-Fatigue-Century-Stress-Syndrome/dp/1890572152/ or Dr. Christianson's book http://www.amazon.com/Adrenal-Reset-Diet-Strategically-Proteins/dp/0804140537/ or just searching online for information. The quiz at [...] is a good start. Sweet dreams!

I have tried so many things to help with not waking up in the middle of the night. These worked! 3-4 before bed and I sleep 7 hours straight as opposed to my normal waking up after 4 hours. AND I wake up feeling like I slept hard. Not like I just drugged myself to go to sleep like I feel with some sleep aids like melatonin and others. I had heard glycine helps with sleep among other things. So glad I gave these a try. They are saving my health and my mood. I have so much more energy the next day with a good night's sleep.

I am very skeptical when it comes to supplements, and usually it takes a while to see/feel the results. My husband started taking those and I decided to try as it promotes better sleep and I wasn’t able to sleep through the night anymore. I would wake up without an apparent reason and take a while to fall back asleep. On my very first try (took it one time) I already felt like I had a deeper sleep and was well rested the next day. The only downside was that it recommends taking 3 capsules, which is what I take every night. I wish I could only take one as I have a hard time swallowing pills. It’s not drowsy, so it won’t help you to fall asleep but once you do fall asleep it helps you keep asleep.

I’ve been in a committed three-way relationship with NOW Foods Glycine (1,000 mg) and my Magnesium for 3 months now, and honestly? It’s the most satisfying action I’ve had in years. ​I take this "double-team" combo about 3 hours before bed, and by the time I hit the sheets, I’m ready to be absolutely dominated... by REM sleep. It only took about a week for me to start feeling the difference, and now my brain finally knows how to shut up and take it. ​Before this, my nighttime routine was just me, my ceiling fan, and a crippling sense of existential dread. Now? I’m out cold. If you’re looking for something that’ll make you go limp and leave you breathless (because you’re snoring, obviously), this is the stack for you. ​Pros: ​1,000 mg of pure, unadulterated relaxation. ​Pairs with Magnesium better than bad decisions and a 2:00 AM text.

Good product.

Great price. Helps me sleep at night. No side effects. Tastes fines.

Both my mother and I have been using it as support for brain function and sleep quality for about a year or so. Although it does not work miracles, I find it useful. Under normal circumstances when I would wake up two or three times a night it helps me to get 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Also for the first several months I noticed that my dreams became much more vivid and I tended to remember them better, but my mother did not experience such an effect. Overall I am satisfied with this product and intend on keeping using it.

It does what it supposed to do. But please take it before bed otherwise day time dose makes you feel light and sleepy. The price is a concern, but quality is superb!

I take the recommended 3 capsules a night and have more restful sleep. When I take less I notice that my sleep is less restful. It does seem to make a clear difference in the quality of rest and recovery I get when I sleep.
