As you know, the amino acids in Collagen Peptides – glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline – help support better bone health. They help you enjoy smoother, more confident movement.
Recently, the medical community has confirmed that one of the amino acids in Collagen Peptides – glycine – may also be the key to another world-wide concern.
Sleep.
Sleep deprivation is dangerous.
Sleep deprivation – difficulty falling and staying asleep – is a widespread phenomenon that affects the brains of 1 in 5 adults (1).
With sleep deprivation, neurological pathways slow down, causing a reduced reaction time and mental state. Systems in your body enter a state of life-support as a means of coping.
Your brain tries to manage your sleep deprivation, which can cause unequal stimulation in your brain, often resulting in an impairment in attentiveness, working memory, consolidation of memories, alertness, judgement, decision-making, and other cognitive performances (2).
What is glycine?
Glycine is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in your brainstem and spinal cord (3), where it participates in a variety of motor and sensory functions. In fact, it functions both to stimulate your brain and nervous system activity, or to quiet it.
According to Michael Breus, M.D., (the Sleep Doctor), glycine plays an important role in your whole health (4), including:
- Collagen production: the protein that is an essential component of muscles, tendons, skin, and bones
- Digestion: helps maintain healthy levels of acidity in your digestive tract
- Genes: involved in the production of DNA and RNA, genetic instructions that deliver your cells the information they need to function
- Metabolism: helps manage blood sugar levels
- Immunity: helps regulate your body’s immune response
- Serotonin production: helps your body make serotonin, a hormone and neurotransmitter that has significant effects on your sleep and mood.
Glycine is quickly being recognized as an exciting new strategy for helping to improve sleep quality.
Studies show that glycine may help you fall asleep more quickly, increase your sleep quality, reduce your inability to fall asleep, and help promote deeper, more restful sleep.
A randomized single-blinded crossover trial with human volunteers who had been continuously experiencing unsatisfactory sleep was conducted to study the effect of 3 grams of glycine before bedtime.
The volunteers first filled out a questionnaire to determine sleep deficits going into the trial. The mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score was 8.07 +/- 1.34, indicating that the subjects had been continuously experiencing unsatisfactory sleep (5).
Significant benefits of glycine were revealed
The volunteers were very satisfied with the night’s sleep, had little difficulty in falling asleep, did not take long to fall asleep, and slept well (6).
Glycine also lessened daytime sleepiness and helped improve performance of memory recognition tasks.
