Glycine – Pharmaceutical grade

Pharmaceutical-grade glycine from Greatlife is the finest glycine we have found. It is a high-quality, well-researched amino acid sourced from Japan’s leading manufacturer of amino acids. Glycine plays a central role in nervous system balance and the body’s recovery processes. It has traditionally been used to support relaxation, sleep quality, and mental calm. Unlike simpler amino acid supplements, Greatlife’s glycine is characterized by exceptional purity and carefully selected raw materials. This supplement is pure and free from additives, toxins, and GMOs.

For best results, we recommend taking glycine in the evening, approximately 30–60 minutes before bedtime, when the goal is to support sleep and relaxation. Glycine can also be taken during the day when calming support or recovery is needed. The product can be used daily and is suitable both for short-term use and as part of a long-term routine to support the nervous system and recovery.

From a biological perspective, glycine functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, helping to reduce excessive nerve signaling. Glycine also plays an important role in collagen synthesis, thereby supporting connective tissue, joints, and muscles. In addition, glycine is involved in the body’s natural detoxification and recovery processes, including as a building block of glutathione.

Why glycine?

Glycine has several unique properties compared to many other amino acids and nervous system support nutrients:

Supports sleep and relaxation

• Glycine may help improve sleep quality and make it easier to fall asleep.
• It is often used to promote deeper, more restorative sleep.

Supports stress management and nervous system balance

• Glycine has a calming effect by reducing overactivity in the nervous system.
• It may contribute to greater mental calm during stress and inner restlessness.

An important building block for connective tissue and recovery

• Glycine is a key component of collagen, which supports joints, tendons, and connective tissue.
• It may support muscle and tissue recovery after physical exertion.
