Glycine is a sedative that is indicated for children of all ages, even newborns. How much does it improve the well-being of the child, does it have side effects and how to take it correctly will help to understand the instructions for use of the drug.
What is glycine and why do children need it
Glycine is a replaceable amino acid that is independently produced by the liver in the human body, and is also found in proteins and biologically active connections... It has an inhibitory effect on neurons, stimulates metabolism in brain tissues, has antidepressant, antioxidant, antitoxic, sedative effect... As a result, it is noted that it facilitates falling asleep, improves memory and learning, and decreases motor hyperactivity.
Indications for taking Glycine
Doctors recommend glycine for children to reduce nervous tension and stimulate mental activity. The use of the drug for children is quite justified. Indeed, often disorders of the nervous system in adults develop as a result of children's mental trauma... They could have arisen back in early childhood, infancy, childbirth or pregnancy of the mother. Treat such pathologies in childhood much easier and more efficient. In some cases, neurologists prescribe Glycine even to babies. The indications for taking this remedy can be different, but they are always associated with the state of the nervous system.
| Appointment to children after a year | Appointment for children under one year old |
|---|---|
| Eliminate feelings of anxiety and fear. | Birth trauma, hypoxia during childbirth or during pregnancy. |
| Improved memory associative processes and mood. | Congenital encephalopathy. |
| Reducing exposure to stress factors. | Hypertonicity of the extremities. |
| Improving mental performance. | Tremor (trembling) of the chin, arms, legs, head. |
| Sleep normalization. | High excitability, anxiety. |
| Elimination of deviant behavior. | Lack of sleep, problem falling asleep. |
Overdose and side effects
Overdose of glycine can cause lethargy, lethargy, increased sleepiness, distraction of attention, weakness. In addition, a decrease in blood pressure and increased heart rate. Therefore, in order not to harm the child, parents need to be sure to look at the composition and amount of the active substance.
As mentioned above, Glycine affects metabolic processes in nerve cells and does not belong to the group of the strong sedatives, and the nervous system is individual for everyone. Therefore, in some cases, you can observe the opposite effect - increased excitability, and sometimes provoking signs of neurosis.
If a child experiences discomfort, becomes more capricious, has difficulty falling asleep or constantly wakes up, it is imperative to tell the attending physician about these changes. He will assess the situation and determine if the drug is right for your baby. It is likely that you will need to change the dosage, cancel the medication, or prescribe its analogue.
Instructions for the use of Glycine for children in tablets
To begin with, it is important to note that Glycine for children should be prescribed only by a doctor - pediatrician or neurologist. Self-application this drug may cause serious mental disorders... Based on the general condition of the child, the medical history, the course of the maternal pregnancy, the nature of childbirth, the specialist will prescribe correct dosage and the individual treatment period.
In most cases, the dosage of the drug for children is as follows:
- children under 3 years old - 50 mg of glycine;
- children after 3 years are recommended 100 mg of glycine.
The frequency and duration of taking glycine during the day depends on the indications for taking the drug.
- With stress, mental stress, memory impairment, inability to concentrate, delay mental development, a decrease in mental activity for children after 3 years is recommended to take 2-3 times / day, course use is 14-30 days.
- At various pathologies nervous system, which can occur with hyperactivity, excessive agitation and sleep problems, children under 3 years of age are recommended to give glycine 50 mg 2-3 times / day, the duration of admission is 7-10 days. Then the dosage is reduced to 50 mg of glycine 1 time / day, course application is 7-10 days. Children from 3 years old - 100 mg of glycine 2-3 times / day, lasting 7-14 days. With appropriate indications, the intake of Glycine can be extended up to 1 month.
- For insomnia and other sleep problems the drug is taken 20 minutes before going to bed in doses depending on the age of the child.
It is rather problematic to predict the time of the appearance of the desired effect, since the effect of the drug also depends on the individual specifics of the child's body.
How to take glycine for children
For children after a year, glycine is taken sublingually (the tablet is placed under the tongue) or buccal (the tablet is placed in the mouth, behind the cheek or upper lip).
At the age from birth to 1 year old, the child will not be able to slowly dissolve the pill, so it must be crushed into powder, dipped in a pacifier and given to the baby, or diluted in 1 teaspoon of water. Immediately after taking Glycine, it is not advisable to add water to the child so that the drug can be absorbed in the oral cavity.
During the period of taking Glycine, parents need to monitor the child's reaction to the drug, evaluate even the smallest changes in the baby's behavior and immediately inform the doctor about it.
What is the difference between drugs with glycine
Domestic pharmaceutical market glycine is represented by several trade names drugs. The most popular of these are:
- Glycine (OZONE) 200 mg;
- Glycine (Biotics) 100 mg;
- Glycine Bio (Pharmaplant) 100 mg.
Biologically active additive Glycine Forte (Evalar), which, in addition to glycine and excipients contains vitamins (B1, B6, B12). This medication is not recommended for use in children.
Since the dosage of glycine for children is no more than 100 mg at a time, 100 mg glycine tablets are most suitable for a child, which are conveniently divided into two parts for children under one year old.
Important! Tablets with more than 100 mg of glycine are intended for adults and are not recommended for children under 14 years of age. For children under 1 year old, it is best to buy drugs that include 100 mg of glycine.

Glycine is an artificially obtained amino acid that is designed to relieve nervous stress and increase efficiency. The drug is especially popular with schoolchildren and students during exams. It is often used by athletes with increased physical activity... The overwhelming majority of consumers associate glycine with a harmless drug, but this "harmless" drug has contraindications and side effects. An overdose of glycine is a very unpleasant phenomenon that can occur if the instructions and prescriptions of the doctor are not followed.
What is glycine for
This amino acid is produced in a certain amount in the body and has a positive effect on the metabolism of the nervous system. Entering the body, glycine not only improves the functioning of the nervous system, but also accelerates various chemical processes
... By interacting with certain substances in the body, it becomes building material for the formation of proteins, enzymes and other necessary components for the health of the body. It is noticed that glycine also has an antioxidant effect, freeing the body from the harmful effects of free radicals.
Glycine is not only produced naturally in the body, but it is also available in certain foods. The amino acid is found in nuts, quail eggs, soybeans, as well as in ginger, pistachios, chickpeas and aspic.
When the drug is prescribed
The drug is prescribed as a mild sedative for nervous excitability, as well as for increased mental work. It reduces the production of adrenaline, which is the culprit for many of the vegetative-vascular manifestations. Amino acid reduces nervous tension, and also well restores brain processes after mental or physical fatigue. Along with this action, glycine helps to improve memory, activates mental processes and has a positive effect on overall well-being.
Glycine is cheap and affordable drug, which is dispensed without a prescription. It can be purchased at almost any pharmacy.
Often glycine is used to weaken alcohol addiction
... It not only helps reduce alcohol cravings, but it also reduces irritability and hangovers. The drug helps to improve sleep and mood in people with alcohol dependence.
Glycine is prescribed in combination with other drugs in the treatment of disorders cerebral circulation and some neurological ailments of various nature.
The treatment regimen and dosage is calculated by the doctor based on the nature of the patient's condition and his individual characteristics. It is not recommended to prescribe the drug "Glycine" on your own.
Contraindications
Despite the fact that this amino acid is natural in the body, in some cases it can cause adverse reactions... The drug is unsafe for individuals who have individual intolerance. Glycine is also not recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers., since scientists still have disagreements on this matter.
Another category of people who are not advised to take glycine are drivers. The drug can cause a relaxed state, which is completely unsafe for those who are driving.
Glycine is not safe under reduced pressure, therefore, patients with hypotension are advised to take the drug with extreme caution.
Side effects
Like any drug, the drug "Glycine" has side effects. At long-term use means such manifestations are possible:
- decreased attention and lethargy due to suppression of adrenaline production (which especially unsafe for drivers);
- decrease in pressure (unsafe for hypotensive patients);
- load on the kidneys (it is very dangerous in renal failure).
Is glycine overdose possible?
There is no information about an overdose in the instructions of the product, but this does not mean that the artificial amino acid can be taken in any quantity without harm to health. Many patients treat glycine in the same way as a regular dietary supplement (although these funds are not always safe) and often prescribe it to themselves. But since glycine is a complete protein, and some proteins in excess cause protein poisoning, as a result uncontrolled reception glycine poisoning may occur.
Glycine overdose often has the following symptoms:
- weak and lethargic state;
- drop in blood pressure;
- drop in muscle tone;
- dizziness and apathy;
- allergic reactions: skin redness and itching;
- pain in the abdomen;
- diarrhea.
As a result of increased protein synthesis, lactic acidosis can occur, the symptoms of which are characterized by:
- excessive flatulence and heaviness of the stomach;
- drop in body temperature;
- a sharp decrease in blood pressure.
This condition is especially dangerous in children, as it is fraught with complications in the kidneys.... To prevent this, you must immediately contact a specialist and perform a gastric lavage and the necessary treatment.
In very rare cases, the consequences of an overdose of glycine can cause lactic acidosis. This state requires immediate hospitalization.
How does an overdose occur in children?
Medicine often recommended for children. Glycine can be prescribed to both infants and children of any other age. The remedy is used for damage to the nervous system during childbirth, increased tone muscles, sleep disturbances, the consequences of neuroinfections, increased aggressiveness etc. The list of indications is long, therefore glycine therapy for children is a common practice. The dosage is determined strictly by the attending physician, depending on the condition of the little patient.
Intoxication in children can occur in two cases: when parents independently prescribe a remedy for their children and incorrectly calculate the treatment regimen, and when children perceive glycine as candy, since it has a pleasant sweet taste. Having eaten just one pill, they often want more. Therefore an overdose of glycine can occur, the symptoms of which are often harmless to the child's life.
Usually, an overdose in children is characterized by such manifestations as:
- lowering blood pressure;
- sleepy state;
- disorder of the gastrointestinal tract;
- itchy skin.
At the first sign of illness, immediately you need to stop taking glycine and rinse the child's stomach... To do this, you should drink at least half a liter of water (preferably warm) and induce vomiting. The procedure should be repeated several times. Then you should contact a specialist and correct the method of therapy.
Interaction of glycine with other drugs
It is noticed that glycine significantly enhances the effect of drugs such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, as well as psycholeptics, therefore, if a person takes any of these funds, the dose of glycine must be decided with the attending physician.
Glycine is allowed to be taken simultaneously with alcoholic beverages... The amino acid helps to neutralize the effects of alcohol and avoid excessive intoxication. It is also very useful to take the drug during hangover syndrome as the amino acid helps to remove harmful toxins from the body.
First aid
There are no vivid symptoms in the event of an overdose, therefore, in case of ailments, it is necessary to stop taking the amino acid. In case of manifestations of apathy, lethargy and poor health, it is necessary to resort to first aid.
If the product was taken quite recently and has not yet had time to be completely absorbed into gastric tract, induce vomiting. You need to know that in case of improper gastric lavage, unwanted complications are possible. If you do not know how to properly perform gastric lavage, you should immediately seek professional medical attention.
In order to achieve high results, after the gastric lavage procedure, an absorbent agent should be taken. For example, it has proven itself well in in this case Activated carbon.
If the symptoms of an overdose have intensified, then gastric lavage will not help much, so you should immediately consult a doctor. The victim should be laid down to provide him with an influx of fresh air, and wait for medical help.
Glycine poisoning is a rather rare occurrence, and the symptoms are not expressed, therefore, an overdose dangerous complications does not call. Intensive treatment in a hospital is performed in the event of a lactic acidosis coma... In this case, specialists carry out multiple procedures, including intravenous injection to improve general state and provide the required amount of liquid.
After normalization of health, the patient is discharged from the hospital and prescribed a special restorative diet. Additionally, the necessary medications can be prescribed under the supervision of a physician.
Summing up, it should be noted that glycine poisoning, although it happens quite rarely, however, should be taken seriously to take the drug. The drug should be taken only if there is medical indication and taking into account the prescriptions of the doctor.
Hello, today we will talk about such a simple, one might say, even a school nootropic-amino acid, about glycine. Those very little sweet pills that periodically flashed before our eyes while we were in school.
Glycine was discovered already in 1820! year, the German scientist Henri Braconno. In general, this amino acid is present in many foods, which is why we say that glycine is "open", not created. However, a seemingly simple protein, an amino acid, can even be synthesized by the body itself, but a lack of it from your diet can lead to serious problems with health, some time ago people were dying from a lack of banal vitamin C. In this connection, we could not ignore this simple amino acid.
Glycine really heals, there are several studies that suggest that after 23 days of daily intake of Glycine at a dosage of 0.8 g / kg of body weight, there are significant improvements in the fight against schizophrenia (http: // www dot ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14732596).
A little about products with glycine. Meat, eggs, nuts, fish - in short, everything from the "" section.
How glycine works
- You ate meat. In the digestive tract, meat is digested and broken down into amino acids and fats.
- Our body is smart, it knows what needs to be sent to the rectum and what is absorbed into the bloodstream.
- Glycine is in the blood, the BBB, the blood-brain barrier, is connected here, it regards glycine as a “useful substance for the brain” and passes it into the brain.
- Glycine is "met" by glycine receptors, which, by "capturing" an increase in its concentration, give rise to "inhibitory" neurotransmitters such as GABA. Thus, the whole organism "slows down", even the neuromuscular connection worsens.
- But that's not all! Glycine receptors bind to NMDA receptors, increasing their activity.
It turns out that glycine not only "inhibits" the body, but also activates certain receptors. Double action, now in a little more detail.
In order not to get confused, you need to remember that there is Glycine - an amino acid, Glycine - a neurotransmitter and there are Glycine receptors.
A. The inhibitory or sedative effect of glycine is associated with glycine receptors, he approaches them like a key to a lock. When one neuron has selected, and the second has received Glycine, then the subsequent signal transmission chain slows down. This is called Inhibition of neurotransmission, and the signals in the oblong and in spinal cord... With the spinal cord, everything is more or less clear, it is known to be responsible for the movement of the limbs, for the skeletal muscles. Medulla responds to such specific functions like involuntary coughing, sneezing, breathing. Nerve signals in these parts of the brain will slow down.
B. NMDA-receptors are responsible for memory and learning... It was already mentioned that an experiment was carried out with mice, which "turned off" nmda receptors, and they did not remember commonplace things. Therefore, the activity of these receptors is important for good learning and, as a consequence, for intelligence.
To summarize briefly: Glycine is unusual in that it has a calming effect on motor skills and respiration, but, at the same time, activates receptors responsible for learning and memory.
Glycine course
Well, lovers of magic pills, comrades nootropics, have waited! Glycine can be eaten forever and without interruption! We are all addicted to Glycine since childhood, getting it from food. Now, an adult consumes about 2-3 grams of glycine per day just from food. If you see E-640 on the label of this or that product, then do not grumble like grannies: “They stuffed preservatives - they poison people!” This is glycine.
In half a liter of milk, it is about 0.7 grams, in 100 grams chicken breasts- about 1.5 grams of glycine.
Glycine can be given even to children, needless to say that it is never dangerous. While there is no lethal dosage, maybe if you eat 80 grams at a time, something will happen. Contraindications he wrote just so as not to leave the field empty - individual intolerance.
Under normal, healthy eating, when in the diet every day eggs, nuts, milk, meat, then you objectively do not need glycine. Although 0.5-1.5 grams can be added in the evening for better sleep and for faster recuperation.
Decided to accept? 1-2 grams per day, divided into several doses. Take for life, well, or until you get bored) With schizophrenia, we recall good effects were when taking 800 mg per 1 kg of weight and a course of 6 weeks, they say, after such therapy, Stuffed Toys and people around you follow you less)
Guys, right there mega-useful advice, instead of pills, buy yourself walnut, almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts, and eat throughout the day (100g of nuts = about 1g of glycine)! There will be not only glycine, but also many other useful substances.
Effects
With regards to the effects, then we can note an improvement in the quality of sleep. An experiment was conducted where some people received a placebo, others 3 grams of glycine before bedtime (http: //www.ncbi point nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22529837). Both groups were awakened 5.5 hours later for several days in a row. Result: Those who took glycine felt better.
Also effects: better learning and memory (thanks to NMDA receptors), calmness, but you do not become a robot, antidepressant effect.
Expect effects in 20-40 minutes.
How can I help you
Glycine can be combined with anything, so experiment. The only unknown is the combination of this amino acid in dosages above 4 grams per day with other nootropics. In theory, high dosages of glycine will partially inhibit stimulants.
Outcome:
- Glycine is a perfectly suitable nootropic, with practically no side effects and contraindications.
- Effects: calmness, relaxation, good dream, learning ability.
- Lifetime course) poor nutrition, take an additional 1 to 2 grams per day. Instead of pills, you can buy yourself nuts and eat 50-100 grams per day. High dosages (more than 3 grams at a time) are permissible only at bedtime.
- You can combine it with anything if you consume glycine within 4-5 g / day.
- Suitable for measured, productive work.
That's all for today, good luck and see you soon!
Long and successfully used to treat nervous system disorders, Glycine is not dangerous if prescribed by a doctor. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins - each of them has its own function in the human body.
Glycine, or aminoacetic acid, is involved in many processes in the body, but essential function is to ensure the functioning of the central nervous system, which makes it especially important for humans. The drug with this name is freely sold in pharmacies and is one of the most commonly used drugs in neuropathology. The name of the substance is associated with its sweetish taste.
Glycine, benefits and harms
The product is a complex of glycine (aminoacetic acid) and excipients:
- magnesium stearate;
- methylcellulose.
Glycine packaging
Release form - tablets, microcapsules, powder. Aminoacetic acid - the main component of the drug, can be synthesized in the human body or introduced into it from the outside. With its help, many compounds are produced, needed by the cells human body... The amino acid is involved in the processes that ensure human life, effectively affects the central nervous system a person, regulating his psycho-emotional state.
Glycine takes part in the synthesis of immunoglobulins and compounds that protect the body, which makes it an important participant in the process of ensuring the body's defense. It participates in the work of human muscles(as an element in the synthesis of "fuel" for their work - creatine). The level of this compound in the body determines the production of collagen, which is directly responsible for the condition of bones and joints.
A drug containing aminoacetic acid is widely used by neuropathologists to treat patients suffering from ischemic stroke and to prevent similar conditions.
For normal flow processes in which glycine takes part, it is necessary to maintain the required level in the tissues. On one's own human body is capable of producing up to 3 grams of aminoacetic acid, the norm necessary, according to scientists, is up to 13 grams (although there are scientists who call much smaller data, 0.3 g for adults and 0.8 g for athletes).
Glycine - a drug to reduce nervous tension
At good nutrition a person can get up to 2 g of this amino acid from food. The role of aminoacetic acid in ensuring the ability of the brain to withstand prolonged overloads is undeniable. Glycine is responsible for the level of concentration, psychoemotional mood.
After taking a medication that increases the level of aminoacetic acid, the person becomes calmer and more balanced, capable of longer concentration while doing mental work... These capabilities of the substance make it useful for pupils and students during the sessions.
Glycine for children and adults can be taken with:
- mental overload;
- delay social adaptation a practically healthy child;
- stressful load;
- sleep disorders, VSD;
- emotional disturbances, anxiety;
- encephalopathy and strokes;
- climacteric disorders.
A lack of this substance in the body can be signaled by memory impairment, muscle weakness, sleep disturbances and depression. Disturbances in the activity of the body can only be caused by the constant supply of glycine, taken as a medicine, for a long time.
Can you die from glycine?
He, like all substances, can cause individual reactions when an additional amount is introduced into the body. In the entire history of the clinical use of the drug, there are no recorded deaths from its use.
Information on the glycine packaging
Why is glycine dangerous?
Taking the medication worsens the well-being in patients with a tendency to low blood pressure. An overdose of the drug causes hypotension, a state of weakness and an increased heart rate.
The drug, despite its over-the-counter dispensing, is a drug that acts directly on the brain, so uncontrolled intake should not be allowed. Excretion occurs through the kidneys, special care is required when prescribing to patients who have impaired renal function in order to prevent the occurrence of acute renal failure.
Glycine is one of the most used drugs in neurology and psychiatry, but it cannot be classified as a drug with an unequivocally proven effect; it is likely that the drug will cause an individual reaction. Reviews of patients about how the medicine acts on the body are diametrically opposite.
Is glycine addictive
Aminoacetic acid is not, in principle, medicinal substance, it is produced by the body as a nonessential amino acid, so in theory it cannot be addictive or addictive.
Some patients complain of decreased performance and emotional depression when the drug is canceled. Glycine and alcohol show compatibility, which reduces the effects of CNS poisoning with decay products in the treatment of hangover syndrome.
Description of glycine
Glycine as a drug

The mechanism of occurrence of such a condition is a violation of the metabolism of proteins in the body, which are manifested:
- increasing weakness;
- low blood pressure;
- dizziness and fainting.
In case of untimely assistance to the patient, there is:
- impaired renal activity with possible loss of consciousness;
- changes in the course of neurological diseases.
Additional symptoms of an overdose are:

- induction of vomiting;
- drinking plenty of fluids;
- patient acceptance of sorbents;
If measures to stop the condition are ineffective, you should seek the help of doctors.
Health implications
Signs of glycine poisoning - weakness, decreased overall tone
An overdose of aminoacetic acid is not dangerous to human health if he does not have an individual intolerance to the drug.
Glycine overdose consequences in adults
The agent is quickly excreted from the body and does not cause health disorders in adults. The most serious is a decrease in the general tone of the body and the intensity of mental activity. Dizziness is extremely rare.
Glycine overdose consequences in children
If a child accidentally takes too many pills and receives first aid, then possible consequences- lethargy and drowsiness. There is no information about the long-term dangerous consequences for the organism of children.
