## Description

Pharmaceutical Grade, Free-Form Promotes Restful Sleep* Nervous System Support* Glycine is the smallest and simplest amino acid, making it versatile for use in a wide range of functions. Glycine is necessary for the production of glutathione, DNA, creatine, bile, hemoglobin, and most proteins.* It also helps to promote glycogen storage, thereby making glucose readily available for energy production.* Glycine also functions as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain, where it facilitates nerve impulses and is important for the maintenance of healthy sleep patterns.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Game Changer, especially for Menopause Women - This has been a game changer for me for sleeping throughout the night as someone going through menopause. This works much better than magnesium glycinate, in my opinion. I wake up refreshed. It has also helped decrease stress/irritability and I have noticed an improvement in my overall well-being.
Review: In the battle for a good night's sleep, this is a winner! - This is working really well for me. I'm taking 2 or 3 at bedtime along with a capsule of GABA, also the Now brand, and in the last couple of weeks I've often slept 7 hours straight through, which has been extremely difficult to do for several years. If I do wake up after 5-6 hours and want to sleep longer, I've been able to go right back to sleep. A sleep mask is essential since my room can't be darkened, and I often switch on my white noise machine, set to ocean waves, and I'm out in just a few minutes. I've tried other things that have helped, both herbs and supplements, but I keep trying new things to see what they'll do for me. Since glycine is just an amino acid, it seems very safe to me. The price is right, too! If you're interested in other things to try, here's what has helped in the past (some I currently use or may use again): > Magnesium (Essential for hundreds of processes in your body, most of us are deficient, and it's very helpful for relaxing at bedtime--I've used it for years. The "Got Mag" website recommends 5x your bodyweight in milligrams daily, and also gives advice for the types most helpful and easily absorbed.) > Vitamin D3 plus K2 for absorption (I take 5,000-10,000 IU of D3 per day, in the morning to mimic sunlight. Be careful--it can keep you up if you take it too late in the day.) > Lavender oil (dab some on your wrists and put your hands near your face) > Valerian, or a valerian/hops/chamomile combo > Some homeopathic formulas have been helpful in the past, but they don't seem to do much now > 5-HTP > Tryptophan > GABA > Melatonin (Can be tricky--used to work great, but now seems to have the opposite effect on me if I use it for several days in a row. Some of the products above are precursors to melanonin and I've read that your body converts them to as much as you need--so maybe that's why they work better for me.) > A spoonful of honey before bed (Google it...I still do this most nights) > The adrenal cocktail (Google it...it worked for a while, but my cortisol tends to be too high and I think it works better for those with low cortisol) Since my window shades let in too much street light, I always use a sleep mask, turn the thermostat down to stay cool, and am trying to restrict use of electronics before bed (screens send a blast of blue light into your eyes/brain). I have f.lux (a free program installed on my PC) and that helps, but really you're supposed to avoid all electronics or bright lights for at least an hour before bed. Some wear blue-blocking glasses in the evening. Other things that would help, but which I usually can't do, are getting sunshine, a bit of exercise, and barefoot walking in the early part of the day. Going to bed the moment you get sleepy is very important, but I'm still working on this. If I push through that initial sleepiness because it's "too early," as I too often do, I get a "second wind" (which I now know is a surge of cortisol) and then it may be hours before I get sleepy again. Then I also wake up too early, and it's a vicious cycle. This is all related to stressed adrenal glands/poor adrenal function, and you can learn more by reading Dr. Wilson's book http://www.desertcart.com/Adrenal-Fatigue-Century-Stress-Syndrome/dp/1890572152/ or Dr. Christianson's book http://www.desertcart.com/Adrenal-Reset-Diet-Strategically-Proteins/dp/0804140537/ or just searching online for information. The quiz at [...] is a good start. Sweet dreams!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this product made?**
A: The products are made in the US. Illinois and Nevada.

**Q: Why the bleep is this glycine sourced from china?! can we not do better? this keeps me from buying it (btw i love now brands :)**
A: First off, this product is currently not sourced from China. Our raw material sourcing is subject to change, so please contact us directly for information like country of origin. Anything we post here will later be inaccurate whenever we do make a change, so we are hesitant to post temporarily accurate information in a permanently accessible public forum. Our certified nutritionists can be reached at 888-669-3663 ext. 5 or productinfo@nowfoods.com. However, for products that are sourced from China, there has been no proof that it differentiates from other countries in terms of quality. Now Foods has specific testing standards and we would not sell a product if it was not up to our standards.

**Q: Are the ingredients sourced in the USA too?**
A: The bottle doesn't say.  It does say it's manufactured in a GMP facility from non-GMO ingredients.

**Q: What is the particle size: sugar or powdered sugar?**
A: It's similar to granular sugar. I mix a tsp in about 6 oz of tart cherry juice, heat for 30 seconds in microwave and dissolves nicely after a little stirring and drink about an hour before bed time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps Me Sleep Better and Feel Calmer
*by A***V on May 19, 2025*

I've been taking NOW Foods Glycine 1000 mg for a few weeks now, and I've definitely noticed a difference. It helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer - I wake up feeling more rested and refreshed. I also feel a bit calmer during the day, especially during stressful moments. The capsules are easy to swallow, and I love that the formula is clean - no GMOs, soy, gluten, or unnecessary fillers. It's also vegan, which is a big plus. If you're looking for a natural way to support your sleep, mood, or nervous system, I highly recommend giving this supplement a try. Great quality, great price, and real results!
