INSIGHT

How Glycine Enhances Sleep Physiology

  • Glycine calms the brain and lowers core body temperature at night to deepen sleep.
  • This speeds entry into slow-wave sleep and can make the same hours of sleep feel more restorative.
ADVICE

Use Hydrolyzed Collagen As A Glycine Source

  • Try hydrolyzed collagen (e.g., Great Lakes, Vital Proteins) as an alternative source because one serving often supplies ~3+ g glycine.
  • Check the nutrition facts to confirm glycine content before using collagen for sleep.
