Glycine — Supports Restful Sleep and Detoxification

- People building a sleep-support routine with their practitioner
- Anyone who reacts to additives in standard amino acid products
What Makes This Form Different
- Free-form glycine, 1,500 mg per 3 size 1 vegetarian capsules (500 mg per capsule)
- Pure says the glycine is synthetically produced
- Made with “high-quality vegan ingredients backed by verifiable science”*; free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, artificial colors and sweeteners, GMOs, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame and gluten
What Pure Encapsulations Says It Supports*
- Promotes healthy kidney and liver function*
- May support nervous system health*
- Supports detoxification*
- Pure notes research showing glycine has “the potential to support memory and mental function”*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
Glycine is a flexible helper. It pairs naturally with liver-support work such as Hepato-Synergy, and with a magnesium glycinate product at night when sleep is the focus. Because each dose is 3 capsules, I usually start with one serving and let your practitioner adjust.
