New Leaf L Glycine 180 Capsules
R 459.00
1600 mg glycine per serving for collagen, sleep and calm.
SLEEP ONSET AND QUALITY
Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brainstem; bedtime doses of 3g have published evidence for faster sleep onset and improved next-day refresh.
COLLAGEN BUILDING BLOCK
Glycine makes up about 30% of collagen amino acid content; collagen synthesis demands more glycine than most adult diets provide.
GLUTATHIONE PRECURSOR
Glycine is one of the three amino acids that make up glutathione, the body's primary intracellular antioxidant.
CALM NEUROTRANSMITTER LAYER
Acts on inhibitory glycine receptors in the central nervous system, supporting parasympathetic tone alongside GABA.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- L-Glycine 1600 mg per daily serving
- Smallest amino acid; functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter (binds glycine receptors in brainstem and spinal cord), a collagen building block (30% of collagen content), a glutathione precursor, and a co-substrate for many metabolic reactions including bile salt formation.
- Plant cellulose capsule
- Vegan capsule shell.
Who is it for?
Adults wanting sleep onset support, those building collagen for skin or connective tissue, those on plant-based or low-meat diets (glycine is low in plant proteins), and anyone interested in glutathione synthesis.
Why use it?
Glycine wears multiple hats: sleep aid, collagen builder, glutathione precursor. The 1600 mg daily dose is at the lower-effective end of the sleep research and a sensible collagen-support level.
When to use it
Evening, 30 to 60 minutes before bed for the sleep effect. The collagen and glutathione benefits are not time-dependent; evening dosing covers both jobs.
How to use it
Take the daily 1600 mg serving (number of capsules per the label) in the evening with water. Higher sleep-research doses (3g) need a powder format.
Pairs Well With
Strategic Cross-Sell
New Leaf Marine Collagen- 60 Capsules
Marine Collagen pairs naturally: glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen, and the two together cover both the building block (glycine) and the full peptide source (marine collagen) for skin, joint and connective tissue support.
