What it does in your body
Glycine is the simplest amino acid, one of the building blocks of collagen.
It is also involved in thermoregulation, how the body manages its internal temperature.
It acts gently on the nervous system in the evening, without forcing you to sleep.
Natural source:
Glycine is an amino acid your body makes on its own, also found in gelatin, bone broth, meat and fish. A noticeable evening effect needs a concentrated dose, which is why we include a clean 2000 mg in the sachet.
Why l-glycine is in Corti-Glow
Why this ingredient specifically, not an alternative.
To fall asleep, your core temperature has to drop by about 1°C. Glycine supports exactly that.
Glycine is the smallest of the amino acids: a single molecule with no side chain, which is also why it dissolves so readily.
It works in synergy with the other evening ingredients in the sachet, a calm mind + a cooled body.
How it works on the body
Mechanism, step by step.
1Widens the peripheral vessels
Glycine gently dilates the blood vessels in the skin of the hands and feet. The body releases heat outward through them.
2Lowers core temperature
To fall asleep, the body's core has to cool by about 1°C. This heat release makes the transition to sleep more natural and faster.
3Calms the nervous system
Glycine acts gently on the brain in the evening, less tension at bedtime, without a “drugged” feeling.
4Supports a steadier rhythm
An easier drift-off in the evening also means less fatigue and a clearer head the next morning.
How it works with the other ingredients
7 ingredients. Each pair with a specific mechanism.
Not random supplements in one box. Every combination has a biological reason.
Combination
L-Glycine + Magnesium
+ Magnesium Bisglycinate · 670 mg
For sleep and muscle relaxation
Mechanism
Magnesium bisglycinate is actually magnesium bound to two glycine molecules, the same amino acid. So the two ingredients come from the same material: magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, while glycine is among the most-studied amino acids for evening use.
End benefit
A relaxed body and a smoother transition into sleep.
