Glycine

Hello, today let's talk about this simple, we can say, even school Nootropil-amino acid of glycine. The very small sugary tablets that periodically flashed before our eyes, while we were at school.

Glycine was opened already in 1820! year, the German scientist Henri Bracon. In general, this amino acid is present in many foods, so we say that glycine is "open" and not created. However, it would seem, a simple protein, the amino acid may even be synthesized by the body itself, but its drawback from your diet can lead to serious health problems, some time ago, people were dying from lack of banal vitamin C. In this connection, we can not ignore attention, this simple amino acid.

Glycine really heals, there are several studies that suggest that after 23 days of daily administration of a dosage Glycine 0,8gr / kg body weight, there are significant improvements in the fight against schizophrenia.

A little about the products, where there is a glycine - meat, eggs, nuts, fish.

How does glycine act?

• 1.You ate meat. In the digestive tract to digest meat, and is broken down into amino acids and fats.
• 2.Our body is smart, he knows that you want to send into the rectum, and that is absorbed into the blood.
• 3.Glycine in blood, then connects the BBB, blood-brain barrier, it regards glycine as "substance useful for the brain" and transmits it to the brain.
• 4.Glycine "meet" glycine receptors that "grasping" increases its concentration, gives the start of "brake" neurotransmitters such as GABA. Thus, the entire body "slows down" even deteriorating neuromuscular connection.
• 5.But that is not all! Glycine receptors bind to NMDA - receptors, increasing their activity.

It turns out that not only the glycine "inhibits" the body, but also activates certain receptors. Double action, is now a little more.

To avoid confusion, we must remember that there is a Glycine - amino acid, Glycine – neurotransmitter, Glycine is a receptors.

• 1.The inhibitory or calming effect of glycine is due to glycine receptors, it is suitable to them as the key to the lock. When one neuron is allocated, and the second took Glycine, the subsequent signal transmission chain slows down. This is called inhibition of neurotransmission, particularly wherein "good" signals are slowed down in the medulla and spinal cord. The spinal more or less clear, it is known to be responsible for the movement of the limbs, for the skeletal muscles. Oblong brain responds to such specific functions as the involuntary cough, sneezing, breathing. Nerve signals in these regions of the brain will slow down.
• 2.NMDA-receptors are responsible for memory and learning. Already once we mentioned that the experiment was conducted with mice, which "turned off» NMDA-receptors, and they are not remembered banal things. Therefore, the activity of these receptors is important for good learning and as a result, for intelligence.

Summarize: Glycine is unusual in that it has a calming effect on motility and respiration, but, at the same time, activates the receptors responsible on learning and memory.

Glycine course

Well, fans of magical pills, comrades nootropic addicts, wait! Glycine can eat forever without a break! We are all addicted to childhood Glycine, getting it from food. Now, an adult consumes approximately 2-3 grams of glycine per day just from food. If you are on the label of a product can access the E-640, do not grumble like grannies: "Here preservatives stuffed - people poisoned", it is glycine. Buy Picamilon, Phenotropil, Noopept and Piracetam for brain improvement.

At half-liter of milk it for about 0.7 grams per 100 grams of chicken breast - about 1.5 grams of glycine.

Glycine can be given even to children, it is necessary to say that it is never dangerous. Although no fatal dosage can, if you eat 80 grams at a time, then something will happen. Contraindications had written just to not leave the field empty - idiosyncrasy.

In a normal, healthy diet when diet every day eggs, nuts, milk, meat, then glycine objectively you do not need. Although you can add 0.5-1.5 grams in the evening to sleep better and faster recuperation.

You decided to take it? 1-2 grams per day, divided into several stages. Take lifetime, well, or until you get bored) In schizophrenia, we recall, had good effects when taking 800 mg per 1 kg of body weight and the course of 6 weeks, they say, after such treatment, soft toys and people around watching you less)

Guys, here is the mega-helpful advice, rather than tablets, buy yourself a walnut, almond, hazelnut and peanut, and eat during the day (100 grams of nuts = about 1 g of glycine)! Here, not only is glycine, but also a lot of other useful substances.

Effects of Glycine

With regards to the effects, then it is possible to note an improvement in sleep quality. An experiment when some people received a placebo, the other 3 grams glycine before bedtime. Both groups were awakened by 5.5 hours for several days. The result: those that took glycine, feel better.
Just effects: better learning and memory (thanks to the NMDA-receptors), tranquility, but you do not become a robot, an antidepressant effect. Effect is expected in 20-40 minutes.

How can I help Glycine

Glycine can be combined with anything, so experiment. Only the combination of known amino acids at higher dosages of 4 grams a day with other nootropic. Theoretically, high doses of glycine are partly suppress stimulants.

Bottom line:

• 1.Glycine is quite cool nootropic virtually no side effects and contraindications.
• 2.Effects: calm, relaxed, good sleep, ability to learn.
• 3.The course of Glycine for a lifetime) When poor nutrition, take an additional 1-2 grams per day. Instead tablets can buy yourself nuts, and eat 50-100 grams per day. High doses (more than 3 grams at a time) are only permitted before bedtime.
• 4.Combining can be anything if you consume glycine in the range of 4-5 g / day.
• 5.Suitable for measured productivity.
