CGM FTW?

@evan.hinkle This is quite the success story with glycine. Through out the years I've posted a quote from Peat where he thinks glycine is one of the few isolated amino acids that is okay to supplement with. You mention you're not sure if it's the glycine helping you with weight lighting and physique, but I'd say it is. The package of glycine I have has a large image of a body builder on it. I didn't buy it for that, but no doubt it's marketed to body builders.
You're quite fortunate you can take glycine without side effects. It makes many tired and sedated — myself included. Do you not get any of these sedating effects from it?

@Mossy I used to get sedated taking it on my own and in tablespoon quantities, but I now only consume it alongside food/(or milk or some other caloric drink) and only a tsp at a time. It doesn’t sedate me this way. With food, I literally just sprinkle it on top, (adds a little sweetness and not much flavor really).
There’s also the possibility that it lowers stress hormones and perhaps over time I’ve lowered my stress and increased my energy such that it no longer has such an effect. Either way, try tsp vs tblspn and with food vs simply water if you haven’t already.
