Glycine’s surprising mixed effects on mood and digestion — a concise primer on why some people feel worse after taking it and what to consider before trying it.
Key Takeaways
- Glycine can both inhibit and excite neurons, which explains why some people experience anxiety or stimulation after taking it.
- A limited amount of ingested glycine crosses into the brain, so peripheral effects like nausea and blood-sugar changes can drive adverse reactions.
- Adjusting dose, timing relative to meals, or using alternative strategies can reduce glycine side effects for sensitive individuals.
