HelloPharmacist Scorecard of L-Methylfolate 15 mg + Glycine by aSquared Nutrition

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Folate” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (25,000 mcg DFE) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: L-Methylfolate (a form of folate, a B vitamin) and L-Glycine (an amino acid). The inactive ingredients are rice flour and cellulose, which are fillers and capsule material.

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).

L-Glycine is possibly effective for schizophrenia, though evidence is limited. For other uses listed — 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (3-PGDH) deficiency, ADHD, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and cystic fibrosis — there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether glycine works.

We hold no effectiveness data for L-Methylfolate in our records.

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.

L-Glycine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but long-term safety data are limited. Rarely, people have reported mild sedation, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, memory problems, headache, and sensory changes — though it's unclear whether glycine caused them.

Soft stools, nausea, vomiting, upper stomach discomfort, and dry mouth have also been reported rarely. These symptoms resolve quickly if you stop taking it.

There isn't enough reliable safety data for pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Glycine

Meds to double-check

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.

Clozapine (Clozaril) — a medication for schizophrenia — may become less effective if you add glycine. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

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.

If you take clozapine for schizophrenia, this product isn't right for you — glycine may make the medication less effective. For other situations, the long-term safety picture isn't complete, and we can't evaluate L-Methylfolate's usefulness from the data on file.

Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any medications.
