Our assessment
The evidence for glycine as a standalone supplement is not supported by the data provided. The only ingredient data available is for calcium, which is not listed in the product ingredients. Therefore, our assessment is that we cannot confirm the benefits of this specific product based on the provided information. Data on the benefits of glycine is not available.
How it works
Because the provided data only covers calcium, and calcium is not listed as an ingredient in this product, we cannot explain how this specific supplement works. For calcium, the mechanism involves bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, this does not apply to Carlson Glycine Amino Acid Powder.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, side effects from high levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. However, because calcium is not an ingredient in this product, these side effects are not relevant. Side effect data for glycine is not available.
