Glycine is generally a safe supplement to take orally in appropriate amounts and most people do not experience negative effects. However, like any supplement it can cause side effects including:
- • Stomach upset
- • Drowsiness
- • Nausea
- • Vomiting
Avoid taking this supplement while pregnant or breastfeeding, as there is not enough information on the side effects of glycine on pregnant women. In addition, make sure to consult a doctor for approval before adding it to your everyday diet. This may help you avoid or manage potential side effects. *
Glycine supplements are generally considered safe if taken as directed. With that said, there has been little research into the long-term safety of glycine supplements. Most people who take glycine will not experience any side effects. Those who do may have mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as an upset stomach, nausea, loose stools, or vomiting.
Glycine supplements are not recommended if you are taking the antipsychotic drug Clozaril (clozapine). Unlike other drugs used to treat schizophrenia, glycine appears to decrease the effectiveness of Clozaril in some people.
Due to the lack of research, glycine should be avoided in pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and children unless otherwise instructed by a qualified physician. *
