The L-glycine & L-tryptophan dietary supplement is a powdered preparation containing protein amino acids: L-glycine with L-tryptophan, without additives, enhancers and preservatives.

L-Glycine and L-Tryptophan Complex is a combination of amino acids that support the body’s nighttime rest through signaling and structural support . The formula provides L-tryptophan , essential for the production of melatonin and serotonin, which send biological signals for relaxation, and L-glycine , the main structural component for collagen synthesis. While tryptophan induces the nervous system into a state of rest, glycine provides the physical raw material for rebuilding tissues and epithelial barriers. This division of roles ensures optimal availability of the elements necessary for simultaneous calm and natural nighttime repair processes.

L-glycine:

  • L-glycine constitutes as much as one third (33%) of all amino acids that build the structure of collagen ,
  • L-glycine is a natural building block of skin, joints, tendons and cartilage ,
  • L-glycine in the body is an essential element for the production of glutathione, the main cellular antioxidant,
  • L-glycine is used by the body as a substrate for the natural production of creatine ,
  • L-glycine occurs naturally in the structures of the brain and nervous system,
  • L-glycine is involved in the formation of heme, the component responsible for the transport of oxygen in red blood cells ,
  • L-glycine is one of the basic amino acids from which the human body builds its own proteins .

L-tryptophan:

  • L-tryptophan is an exogenous (essential) amino acid , which means that the body cannot synthesize it itself and must be supplied from outside,
  • L-tryptophan is a direct precursor to the production of serotonin , commonly called the “happiness hormone”,
  • L-tryptophan in the natural biochemical cycle of the body takes part in the synthesis of melatonin , a compound responsible for regulating the circadian rhythm,
  • L-tryptophan is a key substrate used by the body to produce niacin (vitamin B3) ,
  • L-tryptophan is one of the basic structural elements from which the body builds body and muscle proteins ,
  • L-tryptophan occurs naturally in the nervous system and in the cells of the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Link to research

L-glycine

The L-glycine contained in this product is a non-essential amino acid with a simple structural structure , constituting over one-third of all the amino acids that make up human collagen. Thanks to its minimal molecular weight, this key building block is rapidly absorbed in the digestive tract and directly distributed to cells throughout the body.

In target tissues, L-glycine is used by fibroblasts as a basic raw material for the biosynthesis of new collagen chains and structural proteins. Additionally, within cells, this amino acid participates in the metabolic pathway for the formation of glutathione , a key natural antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress.

L-tryptophan

The L-tryptophan contained in this product is an organic, exogenous amino acid , meaning it is not synthesized by the body and must be supplied externally. After ingestion, it is effectively absorbed in the small intestine and then transported through the bloodstream, where it crosses the blood-brain barrier as a free amino acid, becoming available to the nervous system.

In target tissues, L-tryptophan serves as an essential biochemical substrate and precursor for the synthesis of important signaling compounds, including serotonin. During further stages of nocturnal metabolism, the resulting serotonin is naturally converted to melatonin , which is directly responsible for the biochemical regulation of the body’s circadian rhythm of sleep and wakefulness .

The Versatility of Glycine with Tryptophan

The Japanese research team Asahi Group/Asahi Quality & Innovations has published several studies on the combination of glycine and tryptophan.

Study 1 (main): mild hyperuricemia, dose 3000 mg glycine and 200 mg tryptophan.

Source: Nutrients 2019, 11(3), 564

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design.

Participants: 31 healthy Japanese individuals (30 men, 1 woman) with mild hyperuricemia (fasting uric acid: 6.6–7.9 mg/dL).

Intervention: powder containing 3.0 g glycine + 0.2 g tryptophan, once daily before bedtime, for 6 weeks

Results:

  • Serum uric acid: decrease from 7.1 to 6.7 mg/dL (p=0.004) — significant difference vs. placebo (p=0.028)
  • Triglycerides: decreased from 119 to 86 mg/dL (p=0.002) — quite a large effect, although this is a secondary outcome
  • Mechanism: increase in urine pH → increased solubility of uric acid → increased urate clearance.

Study 2

Source: Nutrients 2019, 11, 2562

Randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover

Participants: 16 healthy Japanese subjects with low uric acid excretion (statistical power calculated a priori: need> 15 people at power 0.8).

Intervention: higher doses – 6.0 g glycine + 0.4 g tryptophan (2x your dose), administered with a purine load.

Results:

  • The combination significantly reduced the increase in uric acid induced by purine consumption.
  • Glycine alone, as well as in combination with tryptophan, increased urinary uric acid excretion and urate clearance.
  • The same mechanism was confirmed: increase in urine pH.

The advantage of combining glycine with tryptophan is that the two amino acids do not compete with each other.

Glycine, as the smallest amino acid without a side chain, mainly uses transporters dedicated to small amino acids (IMINO, ASC), and not the L system, which transports tryptophan.

Glycine and tryptophan do not compete for absorption and act through separate, complementary mechanisms.

Tryptophan is an amino acid that the body cannot produce on its own. It must be obtained from food, and its main sources include meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, and nuts.

🧠 Tryptophan is a building block for serotonin, the feel-good hormone. Higher serotonin levels are associated with a better mood and a calmer mind.

🌙 Tryptophan is a building block for melatonin . The body converts serotonin into melatonin, the sleep hormone, mainly in the evening and at night. This is a natural signal to the body that it’s time to sleep.

😴 Tryptophan can support falling asleep, thanks to its role in the production of melatonin, tryptophan is sometimes used as a natural support for problems with falling asleep.

Glycine is a neurotransmitter with a dual role, which makes it quite unusual among amino acids.

In the spinal cord and brainstem, glycine acts as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter (alongside GABA, which predominates in the brain). It binds to specific glycine receptors (GlyRs)—ligand-gated chloride channels. Upon connection, chloride ions flow into the neuron, hyperpolarizing the cell membrane and inhibiting impulse conduction.

This function is crucial for, among others:

  • motor control and spinal reflexes,
  • transmitting pain signals,
  • regulation of breathing.

An interesting proof of this mechanism is strychnine, which works by blocking glycine receptors, hence convulsions and excessive muscle excitability in case of poisoning.

In the brain (cortex, hippocampus), glycine also serves as an excitatory co-agonist. It is necessary (along with glutamate) for the activation of NMDA receptors. Without glycine (or D-serine, which may perform a similar function), the NMDA receptor will not open, even in the presence of glutamate.

NMDA receptors are crucial for synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory, which is why glycine is being studied in the context of schizophrenia (deficiency in NMDA signaling) and potential support for cognitive function.

Glycine is one of the few compounds that acts both as an inhibitory neurotransmitter (via GlyR receptors) and as an excitatory modulator (via NMDA), depending on the location in the nervous system.
