HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glycine Powder 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

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 and also gets from protein-rich foods. The powder form delivers 3,000 mg per serving.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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 possibly effective for schizophrenia based on available evidence. However, the research also shows that adding it to clozapine therapy may actually worsen symptoms, so effectiveness in that specific setting is complicated.

For other conditions — including a rare enzyme deficiency called 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (3-PGDH) deficiency, ADHD, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), 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, though long-term safety data are limited. Rarely, people have reported mild sedation, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, memory problems, headache, sensory changes, soft stools, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and dry mouth — but these symptoms resolve quickly if you stop taking it.

Some of these side effects may not be directly caused by glycine. There isn't enough reliable safety data during pregnancy, so it's best avoided unless your doctor approves.

The same goes for breastfeeding — caution is advised because we don't have enough data.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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) for schizophrenia, check with your pharmacist or doctor first — glycine may worsen your symptoms with this medication. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

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 powder is generally well tolerated and possibly effective for schizophrenia, but adding it to clozapine therapy has shown to worsen symptoms. If you take clozapine or any other psychiatric medication, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Otherwise, this ingredient has limited long-term safety data, so discuss with your healthcare provider whether it's right for you.
