Glycine and its consequences

[Heinz1903]

Hi i have been looking for supplements, Outside omega 3 Magnesium and others.

 

What is your opinion on glycine? Does it have side effects and if someone is using it on this forum tell their experiences with it.

 

For what i know about glycine is made of bonemarrow, which can have great effects on the brain, the nerve system.

 

but i'm scared to actually try it. because of earlier supplements that had negative impact after i decreased.

eventho it is just a food supplement that you could also get from foods of themselfs.

 

Can anyone here give me a bigger insight?

Hey I see no one answered this when you posted about it. Not sure if you'll see this now. What I can say about glycine is that it's a non-essential amino acid that seems to be helpful in improving sleep quality. I took it prior to taking SSRIs at night right before bed and noticed an improvement in my sleep, but only when I took higher doses (3-4 grams). At the time it was safe, without any side effects, and I don't believe it is at all habit forming.

 

I understand on this website very few supplements are generally recommended, apart from Fish Oil and Magnesium. If you wanted to try Glycine, a 500mg or 1 gram dose would probably be a safe start. I'm currently in withdrawal and took 1 gram last night to see how it effected me and I noticed no real effects, either positive or negative. I'll likely try 2 grams tonight and see how that goes, because again, most research suggests a higher dose is necessary for effects.

 

Also, this article by Altostrata goes into more detail and people share their experiences there:

I tried Glycein last night, I took 1000mg
After that, it was generally normal to be
However, it raised like a urge to have sex
This is strange because there has been little interest in the weaning process
I didn't fall asleep fast, only around 2 at night
After sleeping for an hour, I woke up again and for some reason took another 500mg of Glycein
From there it was a very deep sleep until morning
Unfortunately, the sleep was very confusing and sometimes painful
When you wake up in the morning, recovery takes a long time, there is confusion
I don't know if this is too high a dose for me or is it not right for me?
