A low-dose glycine supplement primarily focused on general digestive support through a proprietary enzyme blend, with negligible benefits for other listed goals.
Quantity: 500
This product is primarily a digestive enzyme supplement, as indicated by its "Digestive Support Blend," alongside a very low dose of Glycine (40mg). The main function is likely to aid in the breakdown of food for better nutrient absorption and reduced digestive discomfort, particularly after meals. The presence of Glycine at such a low dose contributes minimally to its listed broad goals of brain health, stress relief, or sleep support, as effective doses for these purposes are typically much higher. Its primary utility lies in aiding digestion through enzymes, though the exact components and potency of the proprietary "Digestive Support Blend" are not detailed, making a full assessment challenging.
- Aims to support general digestion, which can alleviate discomfort after meals.
- Chewable tablet form is convenient for immediate digestive aid, making it easy to take when needed.
- The Glycine content (40mg) is far too low to provide any meaningful benefits for brain health, stress relief, or sleep support compared to therapeutic doses.
- "Digestive Support Blend" is a proprietary mix, preventing full assessment of its efficacy, specific enzymes, and their potencies.
- Relatively expensive per serving ($0.28) given the low active ingredient transparency and the minimal glycine content, offering poor value.
- Contains calories (5) and carbohydrates (1g), which might be a minor consideration for those with strict dietary plans.
- Individuals with specific enzyme deficiencies might need higher doses or specific enzymes not adequately provided here, making this product potentially insufficient.
- Proprietary blends can be a concern for those who want full transparency of ingredients to ensure they are getting what they need.

Categories
Glycine 30.0
With only 40mg of Glycine per serving, this product is essentially useless for individuals seeking therapeutic benefits or even supplemental glycine in any meaningful amount, as it falls far below effective dosage ranges.
Goals
Digestive Health 60.0
While intended for digestive support through its enzyme blend, the proprietary nature of the "Digestive Support Blend" makes it difficult to ascertain its true efficacy compared to products with clearly specified enzyme units or well-researched digestive ingredients like DGL. The low glycine content is not impactful for this goal either.
Stress Relief 35.0
The minuscule Glycine dose offers no significant direct stress relief. Any relief would be very indirect, stemming from potentially reduced digestive discomfort, which is not guaranteed or substantial enough to consider this a stress relief product.
Brain Health 30.0
The 40mg of Glycine is a negligible dose, offering no significant direct brain health benefits. The product's primary function is digestive, with no ingredients or concentrations that would provide notable cognitive support.
