Glycine (Engineered muscle, pure)

Engineered Muscle Pure Glycine is a 100% pure, pharmaceutical-grade free-form amino acid powder formulated to support deep restorative sleep, central nervous system recovery, joint tissue integrity, and natural growth hormone release. Designed with Engineered Muscle’s athlete-first philosophy, it provides a clean, filler-free compound that acts as both an inhibitory neurotransmitter and a foundational building block for collagen and glutathione synthesis.

Product Specifications & Highlights

Key Benefits & Mechanism of Action

 * Deep Sleep & REM Architecture: Acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, helping lower core body temperature and quiet neural activity to facilitate faster sleep onset and improve slow-wave (deep) sleep quality without morning grogginess.

 * Collagen & Joint Support: Serves as the primary amino acid comprising approximately one-third of collagen protein, making it essential for tendon, ligament, cartilage, and connective tissue repair under heavy loading.

 * Master Antioxidant Precursor: Functions alongside cysteine and glutamic acid as an indispensable rate-limiting substrate for the endogenous synthesis of glutathione, the body’s most powerful cellular antioxidant.

 * Growth Hormone (GH) Stimulation: Clinically recognized for its ability to stimulate pituitary release of growth hormone when consumed on an empty stomach prior to sleep.

 * Metabolic & Blood Glucose Support: Promotes insulin sensitivity and assists in the regulation of blood sugar levels when taken alongside carbohydrate-dense meals.

Suggested Usage Protocols

 * For Sleep & Recovery: Mix 3g to 5g (approx. 1 scoop) in 150–200ml of water or a calming evening tea roughly 30–60 minutes prior to bedtime.

 * For Joint & Connective Tissue Support: Stack 5g daily alongside hydrolyzed collagen peptides or Vitamin C post-workout or with your first daily meal.

 * Stacking Tip: Pairs synergistically with Magnesium Bisglycinate, L-Theanine, or 5-HTP for an all-out nighttime sleep and nervous system recovery stack.
