Glycine [EU]

Buy product

Glycine is a supplement with many benefits (see description below), and a relatively cheap one too.

It tastes like sugar, and is therefore great to add to shakes, yoghurt, milk, coffee, or tea. Alternatively, you can simply eat it straight out of the bag.

Based on the literature, supplementation of about 10 grams a day would be optimal (if you don’t eat collagen rich foods).

If used for the purposes of sleep, a minimum of 3 grams 1-2 hours before going to bed should be enough.

Jotunheim Nutrition is the brand run by @thegoldenjarl on Instagram, or thegoldeone on YouTube / Odysee. His public work shows a tremendous dedication to building a healthy and glorious physique, and building a better world in general.

As a personal user of this brand’s Glycine I can say with confidence that it is the best Glycine I have found so far in Europe.

Description

Glycine is a protein that is found mostly in collagen rich meat, such as skin-on meat, meat from the bone, or tough cuts of meat with lots of ligaments. It has a number of important benefits:

  • Improves production of collagen (great for the skin and joints)
  • Functions as a calming neurotransmitter, similar to GABA (anti-anxiety)
  • Has been shown to improve sleep
  • Is required by the body to produce creatine, glutathione (a powerful antioxidant), and bile salts (necessary for digestion).
  • Can induce a significant increase in growth hormone

I go more in depth in this article (you can also find the scientific sources there).

The body can synthesize some Glycine by itself, but not enough. It is hypothesized in the literature that the body needs about 15 grams / day, but synthesizes about 2.5 grams / day.

Given that people barely eat collagen rich foods, supplementation can be very helpful.
