Enhancing Growth Hormone Naturally
Glycine Supports Healthy Sleep, GH Release
Since GH secretion occurs primarily at night, ensuring
good sleeping habits is essential for individuals seeking to
optimize their natural levels of GH. Unfortunately,
one-third of adults report at least occasional bouts of
insomnia, and about one-third of them suffer from
sleeplessness or disturbed sleep on a more chronic basis, to
the point that it regularly impairs daytime functioning. |

For the millions of sleepless among us, there may be good news—in the
form of an inexpensive, naturally occurring amino acid known as
glycine.
Within the central nervous system, glycine functions as an
inhibitory neurotransmitter, playing a well-documented and critical
role in initiating normal patterns of REM sleep.51 Now, a new study
of chronic insomniacs demonstrates that glycine administered orally
just prior to bedtime significantly improves sleep quality,
shortening the latency between sleep onset and initiation of
slow-wave (deep) sleep as measured by polysomnography. Volunteers
also reported less daytime sleepiness, a subjective finding that was
objectively corroborated by improved performance on cognitive tasks
testing memory recognition.
