Physical performance (strength, VO2max)
Moderate
Population: Healthy adults and athletes
Study type: Systematic review & Bayesian meta-analysis
Dose context: 600 mg typical (range: 300–600 mg) • Duration: 8–12 weeks

Significant improvements in muscle strength, power, and VO2max compared to placebo across 13 RCTs.

Citation: Bonilla DA et al. J Funct Morphol Kinesiol. 2021;6(1):20.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33670194/
Effect sizes moderate; responder variability exists.
Sleep quality / sleep onset latency
Moderate
Population: Adults with and without insomnia
Study type: Systematic review & meta-analysis (5 RCTs, n=400)
Dose context: 600 mg typical (range: 300–600 mg) • Duration: 8–10 weeks

Small but significant improvement in overall sleep (SMD −0.59); stronger effects in insomnia subgroup and at ≥600 mg/day for ≥8 weeks.

Citation: Cheah KL et al. PLoS ONE. 2021;16(9):e0257843.DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0257843https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34559859/
No serious adverse effects reported in included trials.
Perceived stress and anxiety reduction
Moderate
Population: Adults with insomnia and anxiety
Study type: RCT (double-blind, placebo-controlled)
Dose context: 300 mg typical (range: 300–300 mg) • Duration: 10 weeks

300 mg ashwagandha root extract twice daily significantly improved sleep quality, anxiety scores, and mental alertness on rising vs. placebo.

Citation: Langade D et al. Cureus. 2019;11(9):e5797.DOI: 10.7759/cureus.5797https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31728244/
Dose refers to standardized KSM-66 extract. Stress and anxiety benefits seen across multiple RCTs.

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.
