Glycine

Glycine can be consumed at any time of day. The most important thing is to take it regularly, so that you can easily incorporate it into your daily routine.

Many people choose to take it in the evening, in a glass of water or herbal tea, while others prefer to add it to their morning smoothie or drink. Simply choose the time that suits you best and that you can stick with over time.

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 course of at least 2 months, at a rate of 5 g per day. This dosage is the most commonly used in scientific studies on glycine and corresponds to the contents of one pouch (60 servings). Glycine can be consumed over a longer period if it fits into your daily routine.

Glycine has a naturally slightly sweet taste, but 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. In case of doubt or in particular circumstances, however, it is recommended to seek the advice of a healthcare professional.

In recent years, glycine has become one of the most studied compounds in the field of sleep. This scientific interest explains why it is now widely incorporated into evening routines by people looking to improve their sleep hygiene.

Glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen, a protein naturally found in cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. This is one of the reasons it is often incorporated into mobility routines, either on its own or in combination with collagen.

Glycine makes up about one-third of the structure of collagen, a protein naturally present in the skin. It also participates in the synthesis of compounds naturally produced by the body, such as glutathione.

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

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

Furthermore, your glycine needs increase with age, stress, and intense physical activity.

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

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 the digestion of fats, making it an interesting ally within the framework of a low-carbohydrate diet.

No, glycine neither makes you gain nor lose weight. It provides about 20 calories per 5 g serving, which is negligible.

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

You can take glycine continuously, without the need to take breaks. It is an amino acid naturally present in your body and your diet.

Many people maintain long-term supplementation to preserve the benefits obtained. You can also take a break after several months to observe the changes. The main thing is to listen to your body.
