Glycine supplementation re: lastest podcast

(Erin Macfarland ) #29

I wonder what the equivalent dose is in humans?

(Richard Morris) #30

I’ve been adding a tsp of L-Carnitine (edit I initially type Creatine … that was a typo) every day to a small ramekin of berries … it’s sour, but I’m now used to it.

Why? Because Tommy Wood challenged me to try it.

My Methylation is under pressure thanks to my MTHFR status., I am heterozygous for C677T which means my methylation is 65% as efficient as someone who is CC, but at least I’m not a TT which would be 30% as efficient.

So … what dish are you going to ‘torque’ test that tooth on? Start with Sou Vide pork belly and work your way up to Old Papa John’s Boot Strap Jerky? :smiley:

Well Imma let the periodont yank on it cos if he breaks it he’s gotta go back in and fix it.

hi Richard, can you clarify the dosage for glycine (as I heard once per day in your coffee) and what brand (for Australia)
Pretty please?

What's the difference between loose skin from weight loss and just plain ole loose skin from being 'older'?

I acquired some glycine yesterday to give this a try.

I also heard this podcast and went out to buy glycine - mainly for the sleep effect it is supposed to promote.
I have been on it for 4 days or so. I do seem to have had a better sleep pattern (according to my Fitbit - although not in the Deep Sleep area as other comments - but in the Light Sleep).
Seems positive and am watching this space!1

I use

I have a teaspoon in coffee in the morning.

Curious why you use glycine rather then a collagen supplement?

(Richard Morris) #39

Producing Glycine is the part of collagen manufacture that might be the rate limit for people with my methylation status. But it was also the first thing I saw in the store, so I decided to give it a try.

I bought 1kg of Glycine after listening to this podcast :rofl: Then I joined this forum and have been following this thread with interest. I track my blood ketones and they have consistently stuck around 0.3 - 0.4 since December, so I’ve been keen to see higher numbers. Anyway, I watched the youtube vid posted earlier in this thread on the day I started my glycine. I watched it, facepalmed, went stuff it! I have 1 kg to hoe through so I’ll experiment on myself. The first 3 days my ketones went lower - 0.1, then they shot up and now I’m consistently seeing 0.7 - 0.9 every day after. I’m pretty stoked. Is this how it’s happened for you guys or did you see the higher numbers straight away? Also I wonder if the guy in the video would have seen higher numbers if he’d stuck with it for a few more days. I’ve been taking mine right before bed btw

I had an acute knee injury (tendonitis) from sprinting that was pretty painful. I’ve been taking glycine for a week and it has healed rapidly. Suspect it’s helping with Collagen regrowth.
Other subjective impressions: sleeping better, better hair and skin, feel a lot more “solid” and muscular.

How does one know they have this mutation?

#43

Genetic testing.

(Andy Rubie) #44

His video experiment is wildly unscientific and he jumps to strong conclusions without thinking them through. Glycine supplementation increases my ketone levels alot. Consistently.

(Kate) #45

This makes me think I need to try glycine. I’ve battled severe tendonitis in my foot for months. I’ll do just about anything to help it and get me to the point where I can stop taking regular doses of anti-inflammatory meds.

#46

My husband and I have been doing glycine for two weeks now. I think it’s too soon to know if it’s made any difference on weight loss, but we’ve both noticed less pain on some chronic problems, so that might represent less inflammation.

(CharleyD) #47

Oh heck yeah. It can’t hurt. Give it a shot!

Anecdotally, I’ve had a left hip joint and right knee which get achy during the stretching I do prior to taekwondo classes and they get aggravated during the warm ups. They’ve been silent over the past week. I’ve also upped the Utz pork rinds, sparribs and bone broth as well over the past few weeks, so it’s hard to identify which intervention helped the most in my shotgun approach.

#48

I started taking glycine a few days ago. After drinking my coffee and glycine this morning I reread this thread and realized my memory stinks. I’ve been taking a heaping tablespoon per day instead of a scant teaspoon, lol. Oh well, triple the dose hasn’t killed me. At least my bag of glycine will last a lot longer than I originally predicted. Note to self double check these things before plowing ahead.
