Glycine?

Original post in this thread

Is there any chance of Nootropics Depot selling Glycine? I definitely do not trust any other company with something as cheap and simple as glycine since it's so easy to fake it. I'm interested in taking it with creatine to alleviate symptoms of sluggish cognitive tempo.

So just to get this clear, magnesium glycinate exerts its effects in the body as magnesium ions (\~14% by mass) and glycine (\~86%)?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · ND Owner

Magnesium glycinate is elemental magnesium chelated to two glycine molecules by a coordinate bond. That's a bond that is not as strong as a covalent bond, but not as weak as a peptide or ionic bonds. Your body can dissociate coordinate bonds. So a dose of magnesium glycinate will dissociate to elemental magnesium and glycine in serum. It just won't break down in the GI tract like a peptide or ionic bond would.

Jesus, dude... Google shit before you do stuff like this. You cannot use test strips to test for heavy metals content in supplements. They shouldn't even be used to test for heavy metals in water, or anything you are con

Eurypeptides are fake. They don't exist. Those numbers literally come from a single study that used the Lowry's total protein assay, which then they just take that total protein number and call it eurypeptides. For one,

Micromag: Caps vs Powder

The biggest advantage to our Micromag, in my opinion, is that a dose is a single capsule. Glycinate is two. L-threnoate is three. Even if you go with other vendors, you can't fit a whole dose of glycinate or threonate in

I’m having a little trouble finding information about the safety of sucrosomial magnesium. Could someone help me out?

It is magnesium oxide surrounded by a phospholipid encased by a sucrester. They are essentially fatty acid sucrose esters that act as emulsifiers, which bridge the gap between water and lipid stability. That is ideal for

Depends on the forms. It's very complex, but I will simplify it a bit. Traditional chelated forms are bound to amino acids. They will use the dipeptide transporters to absorb. There are a lot more of those than ionic tra

anyone have trouble with the mag glycinate causing stomach issues and nausea? thought glycinate wasn’t supposed to cause these issues, but it kills my stomach

Some people are more sensitive to certain magnesium forms. Magnesium glycinate will absorb through the amino acid/peptide transporters in the GI tract, whereas magnesium L-threonate will use the GLUT transporters. This i
