ive had issues waking up to pee at night. i watched this video yesterday and i took 5 grams of both salt and glycine. it works! didnt wake up at all to pee which hasnt happened in a long time
It's surprising how many channels will talk about these supplements and not go into the important part, which is selecting doses, timing and products.. thanks for discussing this
So amazing! I just discovered Glycine! It has had major effects for me in terms of sleep and anxiety and possibly even joint pain. Also interestingly I tested with very high Serine in a VibrantAmerica Micronutrient panel I really need to look at conversion gene!
I didn’t catch y, do u rmbr? is it bc it stimulates glucagon bc it’s an amino acid? bc i thought any protein technically breaks a fast but it’s ok bc the glucagon mitigates the insulin ie ‘gluco’-‘gone’ @15:30 I think right
Thanks Chris. Good video review of glycine. Do you think consuming a bit of honey or refined carb with glycine before sleep could help shuttle more of it to the brain and increase it's effectiveness for sleep? I have heard something like this before and the rationale is hinged on insulin transport. I don't know if Chris has talked about this and if he has, maybe somebody can link me to it here. If not, I think I'd give the honey a try as people report sleep benefits with it. At the very least I don't see any negatives of trying it. Thanks for all your work Also, it'd be neat to see a video of effects of chamomile, valerian and various herbs touted as sleep promoting if you haven't done one and it interests you. I wonder if these are largely microbiome related. There's talk of some of these herbs being GABA-promoting so maybe there's a benefit there
I find I need something salty before bed. Last night I had insomnia really bad. I took 70 mcg of melatonin 2 Advil pms finally around 4:30 am I got up and ate some lightly salted sea salt chips. I had no idea salt helped sleep.
@@Anjanya1948 I used to do keto and the insomnia was brutal Until I hit some late night carbs. It was purely the carbs issue or the fact that it’s a pain in the ass to get enough salt magnesium and potassium because you’re body starts dumping water
Sugar and salt decreases high cortisol, adrenaline during the night. So next time drink a little natural fruit juice with your salty snack. It is a perfect sleeping combo 🙂
Hi Chris, I have been trying to consume Glycine or Collagen or bone broth for years, but everytime I tried it would make me enter a state of apathy, tiredness, for the day and next day, even on low dose like 1 gram. Do you have any idea what is going on? Thank you for your great work!
Did you find any answers? I get the same response. I wonder if it has something to do with methylation and the glycine buffer system. I usually take it on an empty stomach, taking it with a meal may help if that’s the case.
Depends on the salt, but Morton's is 7 grams per teaspoon. Salt is 39% sodium, so that would be 2.7 grams of sodium. 5 grams of pure salt is 0.71 teaspoons and 5 grams of sodium is 1.85 teaspoons of salt.
@@chrismasterjohn i'm sorry to be so dense; I want to make sure i'm getting this correct. So if I measure out a teaspoon of table salt, i'm getting 7 gm weight of table salt, which equals 2.7 gm of sodium. Is this correct? So am I wanting 5 gm weight of table salt, or am i aiming at 5 gm of SODIUM (which appears to be approx. 1 and 3/4 tsp table salt? Also, do I take this all at once before bed, or spread out during the day?
I take 2 tsp of solé salt water first thing in the morning, and repeat in the afternoon and evening. I’m very low carb (mainly meat and eggs) so I need to heavily supplement with salt plus a little potassium and magnesium. The 5 or 6 grams of glycine before bed have been helpful for sleep A LOT!
is there evidence to suggest that it may be an important factor in cancer cell survival and growth. Since cancer cells can use glycine as a source of energy through a process called one-carbon metabolism.
I was just on your channel searching for another live video I saw - but I can't find it - do you usually not post these live videos up or was it taken down.
@Ruchi You don't want table salt. You want electrolytes, which include salt, potassium, and magnesium. Checkout Sol Brah Supplements. He sells bison liver, glycine, and electrolytes supplements. I just got my order today. Took the glycine a bit ago and am feeling it now. Was just looking for other researchers and personal reviews. I'm off to bed, it definitely brings a mellow sleepy mood! Mixed with chamomile tea is a must.
@@Louiie626 thank you so much for this information. So kind of you! I am in India so I doubt if I can find the same supplements here. However, I will look into finding something similar.
I don’t understand the part where you say it’s difficult for vegans to get enough protein. I logged 91 g of protein today on a vegan diet and I didn’t even eat any “protein” source at either lunch and dinner (beans or tofu) Every food I eat contains protein so if I eat enough veggies I’m getting way above my needs
@@kathyridgeway5235 flax nutritional yeast peanut butter soy milk spinach mushrooms kale potatoes quinoa rice bread tahini or hummus avocado coffee even has protein. Everything has protein including fruit. Eat calories and you get protein. Yeah You have to consume more food to get enough calories but gram for gram protein count is equivalent. I have to eat 2 bags of spinach to equal a steak is all
@@KRIDGEWAY3 I appreciate your research and opinion. Not trying to say it's easy to get all the nutrients you need from a vegan diet - but it IS easy to get protein from a vegan diet. That being said...I work really hard to get vegan sources of choline, B12, Omegas, and eat a variety of protein sources to cover Amino Acids. I don't recommend someone going fully vegan long term without being willing to do some work and learn how to incorporate the right foods daily. But I do think everyone should eat more plants and less meat if any. But that's ME - and I don't tell people how to live or eat. I absolutely love my food so it's not a sacrafice on any level. But even if I didn't love my food then I would still be vegan because I love animals more. No one has to die or suffer for me to not only eat but love what I eat. That works for me spiritually, mentally, physically, and also really helps financially. Again I do appreciate research and investigation as well as an open mind. I always listen to the other side so I can reform my opinion based on others opinions and research but i have kept coming back to mine for 6 years now and it still works for me. I don't see ever changing or ever being able to eat flesh or fluid from an animal. They actually have more feelings and emotions than most people do.

Hi @Chris can you tell me why glycine works wonderfully for me and my sleep but it kill my libido?
I read gelatin is 30% glycine and NAC is best taken in afternoon. when I take gelnac (sic) at 3pm I sleep great at 8pm

Can I take like 3g of glycine and cysteine or n acetyl cysteine together?
We should take glycine with salt together?
No reason not to. I do every evening
i'm confused about what volume (in teaspoons) is 5 grams of salt?

@Kathy Ridgeway look up salt sole water made from Redmond's real salt and try a teaspoon of that for sleep.
I take 2 tsp of solé salt water first thing in the morning, and repeat in the afternoon and evening. I’m very low carb (mainly meat and eggs) so I need to heavily supplement with salt plus a little potassium and magnesium. The 5 or 6 grams of glycine before bed have been helpful for sleep A LOT!
Don’t use Morton’s salt. Use Redmonds or Himalayan
I have been trying to reduce my sodium intake for high blood pressure. Can one use Potassium "salt" instead of sodium "salt?"
Natural sodium or sea salt intake, does not increase the blood pressure
Don't take a large dose of potassium.. can induce a cardiac arrest ..
Celtic salt

5 grams of salt, really? That would make me dehydrated as fuck
That's why he says try 1 or 2 grams first.

Even 1 pound of spinach (which would be a lot to eat) doesn’t have anywhere near the protein or nutritional value of beef.
@@lyz-girl
USDA states 10 oz spinach has 8 gm protein.
So one pound would have approx 14 gm protein.
