Thorne Glycine

• 85/100 science score
• $20 price
• Promoted by Peter Attia

Overview

Thorne Glycine earns a Good overall score due to strong quality and safety but moderate effectiveness backed by small clinical trials primarily for sleep benefits at 3g doses, exceeding the 1g serving size. RCTs like Bannai (2012) showed 3g glycine reduced fatigue and improved reaction times post-sleep restriction (p<0.05), while File (1999) noted memory improvements, but evidence is limited (small n, no large meta-analyses) for detox/muscle claims. Thorne's NSF testing ensures purity, but value

Key strengths

• High-quality, third-party NSF-tested for purity and label accuracy
• Pure glycine with minimal hypoallergenic fillers
• Moderate evidence supports sleep and relaxation benefits

Our analysis

Thorne Glycine is a high-quality option for sleep support, backed by moderate RCT evidence at higher doses. Ideal for those prioritizing brand trust and convenience over cost. Consider powders for better value if pure glycine suffices.
