Glycine at night – 3 g protocol for better sleep
Deeper sleep, smoother recovery, skin & collagen supported.
After morning light comes evening glycine.
This simple amino acid acts as a calming signal, preparing the body for sleep while supporting nighttime cellular regeneration.
A discreet ritual, yet surprisingly effective for nervous balance, recovery and collagen support.
The protocol
- Amount: 3 g of pure glycine (≈ 1/2 teaspoon) or 3 capsules of 1 g.
- Timing: 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime.
- How: dissolve in a little warm water or plant milk.
- Synergy: particularly coherent with a daily collagen routine.
- Frequency: daily, especially after intense days, mental stress or fragile sleep.
