HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glycine Capsules 3000 mg by BulkSupplements.com

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: glycine, an amino acid your body makes naturally. Each capsule delivers 3000 mg.

The capsules themselves are made from bovine gelatin (an inactive ingredient that holds the powder).

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Glycine's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Glycine for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Schizophrenia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Glycine is rated possibly effective for schizophrenia based on available evidence. For other conditions listed — 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (3-PGDH) deficiency, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and cystic fibrosis — there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate how well it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Glycine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Glycine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but long-term safety data are limited. A small number of people have reported mild sedation, which resolves quickly after stopping the product.

Rarely, users have reported soft stools, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, memory problems, headache, dry mouth, and sensory changes — though it's unclear if glycine is the actual cause. Not enough reliable safety data exist during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best avoided unless your doctor approves.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using this product if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Glycine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take clozapine (Clozaril), an antipsychotic medication, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product — glycine may make it less effective.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Glycine may help with schizophrenia symptoms, though evidence is limited. If you take clozapine, check with your pharmacist first — this product may work against it.

Otherwise, most people tolerate it well, but long-term safety data are sparse. Talk with your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Glycine Capsules 3000 mg by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Glycine Capsules 3000 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Glycine Capsules 3000 mg has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Glycine Capsules 3000 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does glycine actually work for schizophrenia?
The evidence says it's possibly effective, but it's not a primary treatment on its own. The tricky part: one small clinical trial showed that adding glycine to clozapine therapy actually made symptoms worse, not better, so it's important to talk with your doctor before trying it alongside any antipsychotic.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. Rarely, people have reported mild sedation (which goes away quickly after stopping), soft stools, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, or dry mouth. Some have reported irritability, insomnia, fatigue, memory problems, headache, or sensory changes, but it's unclear whether glycine caused them.
Is it safe while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data to know either way. It's best avoided unless your doctor approves. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
What exactly is glycine?
It's an amino acid your body produces naturally. It's one of the building blocks of protein and plays roles in many body functions.
Is there anything else in the capsule besides glycine?
The capsule itself is made from bovine gelatin, which is an inactive ingredient that holds the powder together — it's not an active part of what the product does.
