Daytime sleepiness and performance after sleep restriction
Moderate
Population: Healthy adults with partial sleep restriction
Study type: RCT (double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover)
Dose context: 3000 mg typical (range: 3000–3000 mg) • Duration: 3 nights

3 g glycine before bed significantly reduced daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment following 25% sleep restriction; mechanism involves core body temperature reduction via SCN NMDA receptors.

Citation: Bannai M et al. Front Neurol. 2012;3:61.DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2012.00061https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22529837/
Well-tolerated at 3 g; higher doses not well-characterized for sleep specifically.
Collagen synthesis / connective tissue support
Moderate
Population: Recreationally active males
Study type: RCT (mechanistic)
Dose context: 15000 mg typical (range: 5000–15000 mg) • Duration: Acute (pre-exercise)

15 g gelatin (rich in glycine and proline, with vitamin C) before intermittent exercise doubled collagen synthesis markers (P1NP) vs. placebo; glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen (~33%).

Citation: Shaw G et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2017;105(1):136–143.DOI: 10.3945/ajcn.116.138594https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27852613/
Study used gelatin + vitamin C, not isolated glycine; glycine is rate-limiting for collagen synthesis.
