HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glycine (Free Form) Powder by Herbadiet
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: glycine, a simple amino acid. That's it — there are no other active ingredients, and no inactive fillers or binders listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Glycine is possibly effective for schizophrenia according to the evidence we hold. For other uses listed — 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (3-PGDH) deficiency, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and cystic fibrosis — the evidence is insufficient to rate it.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the reliable data we have isn't enough yet to say either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Glycine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but long-term safety data are limited. Mild sedation, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, memory impairment, headache, and sensory impairment have been reported rarely, as have soft stools, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, and dry mouth — though associations with glycine aren't always clear.
Symptoms like sedation and stomach upset resolve quickly if you stop taking it. We don't hold enough reliable safety data to know whether glycine is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in those situations.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before starting if you take clozapine (Clozaril), an antipsychotic for schizophrenia — glycine may reduce its effectiveness. No other medication interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we hold.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Glycine is a straightforward single-ingredient supplement that's possibly effective for schizophrenia and generally well tolerated at typical doses, though long-term safety data are limited. If you take clozapine, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the supplement may interfere with how well it works.
For any other medications you're on, use the search tool on this page to confirm there's no interaction.
