We explored how adding glycine and other amino acids to modified dry extracts of motherwort affects anxiety levels. In our study, we found that these modified extracts showed significant anxiolytic activity, particularly when glycine, valine, and arginine were included.
This suggests that combining these amino acids with motherwort may help create a new treatment for anxiety.Overall, the extracts provided a promising foundation for developing more effective anxiety-relief medications.

Personal reaction negative
1 people found this helpful
Despite being a solid product, it didn’t work for me. I had a negative reaction, experiencing heightened anxiety even after reducing the dose. Some individuals seem to react badly, leading to anxiety or depression, so I advise starting with a small amount.

Enhances cognitive function
Glycine is excellent—it is used to enhance sleep, lessen nervous tension, reduce anxiety, and improve memory and cognitive functions. As a non-essential amino acid, it regulates metabolism, normalises protective processes in the central nervous system, mitigates emotional stress, and boosts mental performance.

No effect felt
After taking 1/4 tsp three times a day for two weeks, I haven’t noticed any effect. My nervousness, anxiety, and insomnia remain unchanged. The powder form is also not very convenient, though it does have a pleasant taste.

Natural calming supplement
Glycine is fantastic for calming down. The effects aren't consistent; sometimes it's very effective, while at other times I don't notice much change. Nevertheless, it's the only natural supplement that has worked best for my anxiety and overall calming.

Negative effect noted
Glycine is no longer for me. The products have always contained quality ingredients at a reasonable price. While glycine is beneficial for anxiety, mood, and even promotes hair growth—my hair significantly improves with it—some individuals have adverse reactions. I find I cannot take too much glycine without experiencing negative effects and, like others, I have decided against using it in the future. The product comes as a powder, and I typically take a teaspoon.
