Stress-Resilient Training Stack
Supports training consistency under physical and mental stress.
600mg
Significant improvements in muscle strength, power, and VO2max compared to placebo across 13 RCTs.
Small but significant improvement in overall sleep (SMD −0.59); stronger effects in insomnia subgroup and at ≥600 mg/day for ≥8 weeks.
300 mg ashwagandha root extract twice daily significantly improved sleep quality, anxiety scores, and mental alertness on rising vs. placebo.
3000mg
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.
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%).
