MEGADOSING GLYCINE: New Skin, Better Sleep & No Peeing at Night! [exact Dosage]

Key wellness strategies & self-care / productivity takeaways

• Use glycine as an “optimization” supplement, not just a survival nutrient

  • Glycine is an amino acid found in foods like meat, eggs, and bone broth, and it’s also available as a supplement.
  • The video emphasizes that simply getting some glycine isn’t enough—people may be in a functional deficit that affects sleep, skin repair, and aging markers.

• Improve sleep quality (especially sleep onset and deep sleep)

  • Dose approach for sleep:
    • 3 grams (g) on top of dietary intake
    • Take 30–60 minutes before bed
  • Expected effects mentioned:
    • Fall asleep faster
    • Reach deep sleep sooner
    • Wake up less often / feel less wrecked

• Reduce nighttime urination (“no more peeing at night”)

  • The video connects glycine’s cooling/physiology effects to better nighttime control.
  • Strategy:
    • 3 g above diet, 30–60 minutes before bed
  • Claimed outcome:
    • Likely reduces bedtime/night toilet sessions

• Support longevity / aging biology (via plasma glycine + downstream processes)

  • Evidence claim:
    • People with higher glycine in blood plasma tend to show slower biological aging in cohort studies.
  • Important nuance:
    • Not promised as “instant years off your life,” but as a better-supported aging profile when dosing is sufficient.

• Plan dosing in two “stages”

  • Stage 1 (sleep + nighttime urination):
    • 3 g total on top of diet
    • 30–60 minutes before bed
  • Stage 2 (additional longevity/skin/collagen-related benefits):
    • Higher dosing option discussed:
      • Up to ~10 g total per day (counting food + collagen powder/supplements)
    • Notes/limitations:
      • Not framed as necessary for everyone
      • The video suggests considering a doctor and doing personal research

Practical dosing bullets (as stated)

• For sleep and reducing nighttime urination:

  • 3 g in water
  • 30–60 minutes before bed
  • Make it on top of diet (diet already contains some glycine)

• For broader longevity efforts (optional “higher end” approach):

  • Target ~10 g total per day
  • Count dietary + collagen powder + any supplements
  • Mentioned as not required; caution to consider medical guidance
