HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glycine + Taurine & L-Proline Unflavored by Pure Power
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 powder contains three active ingredients. Glycine is an amino acid that's been studied for schizophrenia and a few other conditions.
Taurine is another amino acid naturally found in meat and seafood; it's been researched for heart health and liver function. L-Proline is an amino acid involved in collagen and connective tissue.
The product has no inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
Glycine is possibly effective for schizophrenia. For the other conditions listed—ADHD, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and a few others—the evidence isn't established enough to rate it.
Taurine is possibly effective for hepatitis and congestive heart failure (a weakened heart that can't pump blood well). It appears possibly ineffective for weight loss.
L-Proline's effectiveness for athletic performance, bone health, fracture healing, and wound healing isn't established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Glycine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but long-term safety data are limited. Rare side effects include mild sedation, and some people report soft stools, nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort—symptoms that resolve quickly if you stop.
Other reported effects like irritability, insomnia, fatigue, headache, and dry mouth may or may not be linked to glycine. Taurine is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety is less clear.
The most common side effects are constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion. Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions have occurred, especially in people with a history of allergies to sulfonamides or sulfites.
Case reports in energy drinks raise concern for serious heart effects, but it's unclear whether taurine alone or other ingredients are responsible. L-Proline safety from supplements hasn't been well studied.
There's no pregnancy and lactation data on file for glycine or L-Proline; taurine is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation (it's naturally in breast milk), but supplement doses haven't been studied well, so use caution.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take clozapine (Clozaril) for schizophrenia, blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), or lithium for bipolar disorder, check with your pharmacist before starting this product. Glycine may reduce clozapine's effectiveness; taurine may lower blood pressure further or increase lithium levels.
No interactions are documented for L-Proline with the medications we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may help with schizophrenia or heart conditions, though the evidence varies. If you take clozapine, blood pressure medications, or lithium, check with us first—these interactions matter.
Even if you don't take those, run your full medication list through our checker. Talk to your pharmacist about whether it fits your needs.

Taurine monograph & interactionsGlycine + Taurine & L-Proline Unflavored by Pure Power Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Pure Power's Glycine + Taurine & L-Proline has documented interactions with a small number of medications.
The most serious concern is glycine with clozapine (Clozaril), an antipsychotic used for schizophrenia. A small clinical study found that adding glycine to clozapine actually worsened schizophrenia symptoms compared to clozapine alone, though the reason isn't fully understood.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Taurine carries two Moderate interactions. It may lower blood pressure (hypotension) when combined with blood pressure medications, since some evidence shows taurine itself can reduce both systolic and diastolic readings.
It may also increase lithium levels in the blood by reducing how much your body excretes, which matters because lithium has a narrow safety window.
L-Proline has no known interactions documented in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 172 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Glycine + Taurine & L-Proline Unflavored with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Taurine
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taurine might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical evidence suggests that taurine can reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Lithium
Theoretically, taurine might reduce excretion and increase plasma levels of lithium.
Taurine is thought to have diuretic properties, which might reduce the excretion of lithium.
Glycine
Clozapine (Clozaril)
Theoretically, glycine might decrease the effectiveness of clozapine.
One small clinical study in patients with schizophrenia shows that adding glycine to clozapine therapy worsens symptoms of schizophrenia when compared with clozapine alone. The mechanism of this interaction is unclear.
