Frequently Asked Questions

How does glycine support sleep?

Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, helping to calm neural activity and support the body's transition into restful sleep. Research has shown that glycine may help improve sleep quality by lowering core body temperature -- a natural signal for sleep onset -- and supporting healthy sleep architecture.

What else does glycine do in the body beyond sleep support?

Glycine is involved in a remarkably wide range of biological processes including the synthesis of glutathione (the body's primary antioxidant), creatine (for muscle energy), collagen (for connective tissue), bile (for fat digestion), haemoglobin (for oxygen transport), and DNA. It is also important for detoxification processes in the liver.

Can I take glycine during the day?

While glycine is most commonly taken before bedtime for sleep support, its calming properties are mild and it does not typically cause daytime drowsiness at standard doses. It can be taken at any time of day for its other nutritional benefits. Follow label directions or consult your healthcare professional.

Is NOW Glycine 1000mg suitable for vegans?

Yes, NOW Glycine 1000mg is formulated in vegetarian capsules and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is produced without common animal-derived ingredients under strict GMP quality standards.
