    Bumping this.

     

    My acupuncturist keeps recommending this guy to me as he has revolutionised his practice. Had a look, nothing special to me at this point. Very difficult to make a conclusion given so little discussion about him outside of his practice group.

    wtf is Glycine???  :huh:

    Apologies, i should have explained a little. But i don't have the mental capacity to do so in my own words at this point.

     

    This podcast episode and its notes are a compendium on glycine. 2:43 to 8:28 are the cliff notes.

    In humans, the most compelling uses of glycine are as follows: 3-5 grams of glycine before a meal protects against rises in blood sugar after that meal; 15 grams of glycine per day protects type 2 diabetics from metabolic dysfunction; 3 grams of glycine before sleep improves your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality so that you feel more rested when you rise during the day; 15 grams of gelatin taken before a workout with about 50 milligrams of vitamin C promotes getting that collagen into your tendons to help your tendon health.

    There are rare metabolic disorders that are treated with 20 grams of glycine a day, which prevents the accumulation of ammonia and the toxic effects of metabolic byproducts that accumulate in those diseases. And in schizophrenia, 60 grams of glycine a day has shown beneficial antipsychotic effects.

     

     

    He does recommend taking collagen as a means to get glycine in but glycine is just more affordable.
