In a randomized crossover study, people dissatisfied with their sleep took 3 g of glycine before bedtime. Improvements in self-reported sleep quality and sleep efficiency, along with a shorter time to fall asleep, were observed. The study examined glycine as an ingredient at a dose matching this product's maximum daily serving.
