Glycine Powder 200g
Category: Amino Acids
Pure Glycine powder — 100% free amino acid, no fillers, no additives. Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid that serves multiple roles in the body: a structural component of collagen (making up approximately one third of collagen by weight), a precursor to glutathione (the body's master antioxidant), a key component of bile acids for fat digestion, and an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system associated with relaxation and sleep quality. 200g provides approximately 200 servings at 1g per serving.
OstroVit is a Polish sports nutrition and supplement brand producing high-quality, clean-label products widely distributed across Europe. This Glycine powder is unflavoured and mixes easily with water, juice, or shakes. Naturally slightly sweet in taste.

FAQs
What is glycine used for?
Glycine is a multifunctional amino acid. It is a key building block of collagen, a precursor to glutathione synthesis, a component of bile acid conjugation, and a neurotransmitter involved in inhibitory signalling in the nervous system. It is increasingly studied for its role in supporting sleep quality at doses of 3g taken before bed.
Does glycine support sleep?
Several clinical studies have examined glycine supplementation and its effects on sleep onset, sleep quality, and daytime cognitive performance. The mechanism involves glycine's role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and its ability to slightly lower core body temperature — a physiological signal associated with sleep onset.
Is glycine suitable for vegans?
Yes — this is a synthetically produced free amino acid with no animal-derived ingredients.
Does it have a taste?
Glycine has a naturally slightly sweet taste, which makes it one of the more palatable amino acid powders. It dissolves easily in water.
How many servings per pack?
200 servings of 1g per 200g pack — approximately 6–7 months supply at 1g per day.
