Dr recommended this to help my sleep issues. She recc’ed a trio of supplements but this was the only one that was new to me (the other two are inositol and Magnesium glycinate).In combination with all the other things I’m doing towards better sleep during this new phase in life (peri-menopause??)—this has helped.But its true value to me is that it makes my matcha taste so good. I love coffee but bc of an increase in UTI’s and other reasons—I’ve bn needing to find an alternative to my morning beverage. Mushroom coffee, tea, tried so many—but nothing as satisfying.I’ve never liked matcha but I knew i could “train” my tongue if it was for all its health benefits (PCOS,etc). This glycine mixed w my matcha makes it my favorite part of my morning now!! We havent added sugar to any of our drinks for over a decade—so we can “save” that sugar and calories for something more worthy, lol. But this glycine gives just the slightest sweetness and makes the matcha not just palatable but delightful.And when i discovered alllll the other benefits of glycine powder like it aiding collagen production and hence helping joint health, SKINNNNN, reducing insulin resistance, helping produce glutathione (a powerful antioxidant), and so many more—I was hooked.It mixes so easily in hot beverages, helps me feel better overall. My skin looking better might be a placebo effect, but as part of a holistic approach to better sleep and health—I’ve been loving this glycine powder.

It’s just an amino acid but I mostly take bc as I age bc we only make 3g a day & need much more, closer to 12-15g a day by body to support other processes like glutathione, heme, creatine & collagen synthesis, so it’s anti-aging, but also mimics methionine restriction to counter a high meat diet (I eat 1lb chicken/day bodybuilding) so more glycine can offset potential long term damage from too much dietary methionine on organs from meat shown in mouse studies; so why not? it’s cheap and a great sweetener that actually regulates blood sugar similar to allulose. Also many human studies showing great for oral health & keeping blood sugar low as well as helping sleep (increases brain serotonin), great for improving gut health & even immunity as well as being a building block of protein. So I’d rank it at least A tier possibly S, up there with creatine, maybe better depending on RCT studies u believe. It’s not gonna be as sweet as sugar but for most of us these days that much sweetness is too much anyways, imho.

My husband takes this Glycine powder every night before bed and he sleeps like a baby. He mixes the appropriate amount in a glass of slightly warm water and down the hatch and off to bed.

I bought this product in hopes of improving sleep. I heard it also has anti inflammatory components and hope to see the benefits of that. I've only been using this product one week. I can't say I've noticed anything just yet, but will continue and will edit review when I notice something, so far no bad side effects and the product has no flavor so it's easy to add to anything.Update 2/13/17This supple,met has helped greatly in keeping stress reduced and getting a good nights rest. I use it along with Ashwaganda and holy basil and have been very satisfied with results. I just bought a new bag and hope it's as good of quality as the first. This is the best price for quantity and quality.

This is such a good product! I use it for help to calm nervous system & sleep. I’ve been very impressed with it. It tastes great. You can mix with water or just put on tongue. High quality ingredients and great value sized bag.

Great, very good for sleep.

I have been ordering this product for about 8 months. I use 2 scoops per day. It has always had a granular consistency and is sweet. This last order looks like powder and is not sweet at all. There was also something inside of the package that had chinese writing on it. I contacted Bulk Supplements and they said it's not eligible for a refund and that they have many manufacturers and some may appear to be different based on the method they use to manufacture it. I have no idea what this powder is but it's going in the trash. Total waste of $$$. And I tried it to so if it was sweet. Now Im worried about what the hell it is.
