Glycine
Glycine is an organic compound with the formula NH2CH2COOH.
Having a hydrogen substituent as its side-chain, glycine is the smallest of the 20 amino acids commonly found in proteins. Its codons are GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG cf. the genetic code.

USage:
Possibly Effective for:
- Treating schizophrenia, when used with other conventional medicines.
-
- Treating leg ulcers, when applied as a cream that also contains other amino acids.
-
- Treating the most common form of stroke (ischemic stroke). Putting glycine under the tongue may help to limit brain damage caused by an ischemic stroke when started within 6 hours of having the stroke. An ischemic stoke is caused by the blockage of a blood vessel (usually by a clot) in the brain. Brain cells beyond the obstruction don’t receive oxygen and begin to die, causing irreversible damage.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Memory enhancement.
-
- Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).
-
- Liver protection.
-
- Cancer prevention.
-
- Other conditions.
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of glycine for these uses.
GLYCINE Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
BY MOUTH:
- For treating schizophrenia: Glycine has been used in doses ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 g/kg daily in divided doses. It is usually started at 4 g daily and increased by 4 g per day until the effective dose is reached.
UNDER THE TONGUE:
- For protecting brain cells (neuroprotection) after onset on a stroke caused by a clot (ischemic stroke): 1 to 2 g per day started within 6 hours after stroke onset.
APPLIED TO THE SKIN:
- For treating leg ulcers: A cream containing 10 mg of glycine, 2 mg of L-cysteine, and 1 mg of DL-threonine per gram of cream has been used. The cream was applied at each wound cleaning and dressing change once daily, every other day, or twice daily.
