Glycine Powder (2lb) Non-GMO, Non-Essential Amino Acid, Allergen-Free

Good quality

High quality product at a great price. Bout this a couple times before and this one seems to be even better quality as it is of finer crystals, dissolves more readily and tastes better too when mixed in drinks. An ideal way to circumvent the glycine deficit that most human beings function on everyday.

im giveing this a 5 star because it is glycine powder and is sweat and does help with nerve problems and more however do not use this if you need to be in ketosis glycine amino acid takes you out of ketosis so do not use it if you are carnivore /keto/no sugar ................. glycine converts to process as sugar . i have a blood meter that tests ketones and blood sugar lvls . there are videos on youtube of people testing their blood also after using any brand of glycine all glycine converts to sugar and kicks you out of ketosis

It is normal for glycine to be sweet. The name Glycine comes from the Greek word γλυκύς meaning "sweet tasting". This product is as sweet as any of the other Glycine products I have tasted and has been consistently cheaper over the past year. I use it along with inulin to sweeten things. I find also use a little to sweeten tea. (Note that most proteinogenic amino acids don't decompose until 185 degrees c or more. I seem to recall that Glycine doesn't until 240 C) Humans can synthesize Glycine from serine, so it is not considered an essential amino acid but there are studies that seem to show that older adults may benefit from glycine supplementation. Note that all of the bags I have received for the last year clearly state that 1/4 tsp is about 1.16 grams. I do pour contents from the bag into a glass jar for storage once I open it.

I'm taking glycine to address a potential nerve/autonomic issue related to equilibrium. I found the glycine caplets to be very effective, but this - despite taken in larger quantities - didn't really have any effect at all. I'm not sure why. Anyway, one thing it is good for is making pure Magnesium glycinate powder taste vaguely palatable. I take that at night, for a similar reason as the glycine, trying to improve sleep quality by chilling out a suspected overactive system. To no effect yet, I might add, but research is ongoing. Glycine is very sweet on the tongue. I've noticed no benefits from glycine otherwise, I don't feel better in any obvious way when taking it, so I don't recommend it as a prophylactic measure for any condition. It is, at best, inoffensive.
