    Vivid dreams from Glycine - Good or Bad?

    Been taking Glycine pure powder before bed, as it was recommended on Twitter for sleep quality / stress reduction, and it's giving me vivid dreams. And I was wondering if it's a good sign of the brain / mind becoming more creative. Does it interfere with deep sleep, because I feel myself...

    Glycine can prevent and fight virus invasiveness by reinforcing the extracellular matrix

    Highlights • The extracellular matrix is a physical barrier against infectious agents. • Collagen (high glycine content) is the main protein of the extracellular matrix. • Glycine is an essential amino acid as previously demonstrated. • Glycine deficiency causes a weak mechanical system...

    Glycine (and leucine) can treat fatty liver (NAFLD and NASH)

    A great new study that demonstrates the strong protective effects of glycine, alone or in combination with leucine, on preventing/treating various forms of fatty liver disease, as well as the obesity that often accompanies these conditions. One of the strong points of the study is that it also...

    Glycine has a universal anti-viral effect

    While the study below does not go as far as to say that glycine would be an appropriate intervention for the current COVID-19 pandemic, it does describe an anti-viral mechanism for glycine that is (at least in theory) applicable to ALL viruses. Namely, glycine prevents for formation of capsids...

    Glycine Reduces NAFLD by modulating fatty acid oxidation, glutathione synthesis, and the gut microbiome - 2020

    Amino acids alleviate liver disease Glycine is known to be reduced in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), diseases with no approved treatments. Rom et al. found that glycine biosynthetic genes showed reduced expression in humans and...

    Aspirin + K2 + Glycine Poor Reaction; Anybody Else?

    Hey folks, This morning I took a mixture of ~3g glycine powder, 90 ug K2 (MK7), and 650 mg typical otc aspirin. About an hour later, my eyes became bloodshot, followed by lightheadedness and reddened skin. Probably a long shot, but has anyone tried this combo and had anything near these...

    Aging Likely Caused By Decreased Respiration / Metabolism, Not Genetic Mutations

    It looks like after a century of utter idiotism in biology and medicine, those two disciplines may finally be getting on the right course. Despite the fact that the "rate of living" theory is still the dominant theory of aging in the halls of academia, a new generation of scientists is emerging...

    Insects Can Feel Both Acute And Chronic Pain, Can Even Develop Insect-PTSD

    Cosmic Radiation Can Create Life-building Blocks From Ammonia & CO2

    Peat mentioned this in a few of his articles and the process of formation of basic amino acids from simpler chemicals is well-known. But up until now the "trigger" or "spark" of this process was not known. The study below shows that low-energy electrons from cosmic radiation can serve as that...

    Glycine May Treat Lung, Brain And Other Cancers

    Lung and brain (glioblastoma) cancer are among the deadliest. The 5 year survival rates of both are below 20%. So, any progress in treating those cancer types would be a huge leap forward for oncology. As the study says, there is a growing realization that cancers are highly metabolically...

    GABA And Glycine Have The Same Effects In The CNS

    I am posting this simply as a pointer for those that suspect they have GABA signalling deficiency. Accodring to this study, instead of supplementing with GABA (which is hard to find in good quality) supplementing with glycine may have the same effects/benefits. Peat spoke about the similarity of...

    This is not a biochemical study, so it may not be of much value to most forum users.

    Glycine May Treat Hearing Issues Caused By NSAID (aspirin?)

    It is common knowledge that several NASID drugs, including aspirin, cause hearing issues at higher doses. This new research found that the mechanism of action is by competition with chloride ions for activation of the hearing protein called prestin. This suggests a possible method of blocking...

    Cheetahs In Captivity Die Early Due To High PUFA / Low Glycine Diet

I think the glycine deficiency is...
