Glycine

It all depends on your goal.

If you are looking to improve your sleep, take your dose 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime to benefit from its calming effect.

If it is to support collagen synthesis or muscle recovery, favor taking it in the morning on an empty stomach or just after your workout.

You can also divide the dose: 2.5 g in the morning and 2.5 g in the evening, according to your needs.

It's very simple: use the measuring spoon provided in the sachet. One level measuring spoon corresponds to 5g of glycine.

Dilute it in a large glass of water (about 200 ml) or in your favorite beverage. It dissolves quickly thanks to its crystalline form. You can also add it to a smoothie, herbal tea, or even yogurt.

Yes, you can definitely increase the dose up to 10g per day if needed, divided into two doses.

We recommend starting with 5g for two weeks to assess your needs and tolerance, then gradually adjusting the dose. If you are taking more than 10g daily, consult your doctor.

We recommend a minimum course of treatment of 2 months at a dose of 5g per day to observe significant results.

The effects on sleep can appear as early as the first week, while the benefits on skin and joints generally appear after 4 to 8 weeks.

The good news? You can take glycine continuously, without needing to take breaks.

Several associations are particularly interesting:

• Magnesium Bisglycinate enhances the effect on sleep and relaxation.
• Marine Collagen optimizes its effects on the skin and joints.
• Iron bisglycinate benefits from better absorption.
• Vitamin C boosts collagen synthesis,
• Probiotics support your digestion.

For optimal absorption, space doses at least 30 minutes apart.

Yes, our glycine is 100% vegan and contains no animal-derived ingredients. It is also particularly recommended if you follow a plant-based diet, as plant-based sources of glycine are relatively limited compared to animal-based sources.

Wisteria has a naturally slightly sweet taste. However, it is not a sugar and does not cause a blood sugar spike. It is an amino acid, with no significant carbohydrate content.

It can therefore be consumed by people with diabetes. As part of a suitable diet. However, in case of doubt or specific situation, it is recommended to seek the advice of a healthcare professional.

Glycine acts as a calming neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation of the central nervous system. It also helps to slightly lower your body temperature, which naturally facilitates falling asleep.

By taking 3 to 5 g approximately 30 minutes before bedtime, you fall asleep faster and enjoy better quality sleep, without addiction or feeling tired upon waking.

The timeframes vary depending on the benefits sought.

• Regarding sleep, some people notice an improvement within the first few days, while others need one to two weeks.
• Allow 2 to 4 weeks for muscle recovery.
• The effects on the skin and joints are usually noticeable after 4 to 8 weeks, and the antioxidant benefits (via glutathione) develop over 4 to 12 weeks.

Consistency is your greatest asset.

Glycine is generally very well tolerated at the recommended doses. In rare cases, mild digestive discomfort may occur at the beginning of treatment, especially if you take high doses initially. If you are sensitive, start with 2.5 g for a few days, then gradually increase to 5 g.

Glycine is found mainly in animal parts that we consume little of today: skin, cartilage, bones.

A typical steak or chicken fillet contains very little. To reach 5g of glycine per day through diet alone, one would need to consume homemade bone broth or gelatin daily.

In addition, your glycine requirements increase with age, stress, and intense physical activity.

Yes, and for good reason: glycine is a major component of type II collagen, which protects your joint cartilage. It also has soothing properties that can help reduce joint discomfort.

Results appear gradually after 4 to 12 weeks of regular supplementation. To enhance its effects, you can combine it with marine collagen.

As a structural precursor to collagen and glutathione, glycine helps maintain your skin's firmness while protecting it against cellular aging.

After 8 to 12 weeks of regular treatment, you can see a visible improvement in skin hydration, a reduction in wrinkles and an increase in elasticity.

To optimize these results, combine it with vitamin C, which is an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis.

Yes, it is perfectly compatible with the so-called “ketogenic” (or keto) diet.

Glycine contains no carbohydrates and therefore does not affect your state of ketosis. It even supports your performance by contributing to creatine synthesis and facilitating fat digestion, making it a valuable ally in a low-carbohydrate diet.

No, glycine does not cause weight gain or loss. It provides approximately 20 calories per 5g dose, which is negligible.

However, the improved sleep quality it provides can indirectly help you better regulate your appetite and reduce food cravings. It's part of a holistic approach to well-being, without a direct effect on weight.

As a precautionary measure and in the absence of specific studies on these particular periods, we advise against taking glycine during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
