Glycine for Sleep

Meaning

The clinical use of the amino acid glycine as a nutritional intervention to support and improve sleep quality and duration. Research indicates that administering supplemental glycine before bedtime can enhance sleep onset, reduce nocturnal awakenings, and contribute to a more rested feeling upon waking. This application leverages glycine’s role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and its impact on thermoregulation.
