Thorne Glycine: a gentle amino acid for everyday balance
Thorne Glycine is a simple, single-ingredient supplement of glycine – a gentle amino acid that’s naturally present in your body and diet. Thorne describes it as a key building block for proteins, helping to keep your body’s foundations strong.
Thorne also notes that glycine plays a part in creating creatine, which helps supply energy to muscles and nerves, and is involved in bile acid synthesis and glucose use – supporting your body’s natural energy production.
"Thorne Glycine helps me unwind, sleep more deeply, and wake up feeling clearer. It's become one of those gentle nightly habits that supports my body while I rest." - Georgie x
Why we love it
💗 Clean and simple. One well-chosen amino acid.
💗 Tested for purity. Healf highlights Thorne’s third-party testing for contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides.
💗 Trusted by athletes. Thorne is recommended by over 100 professional sports teams, according to Healf.
How to take it
Follow the serving directions on the Thorne label. Many people like to take glycine in the evening as part of a wind-down routine.

TIME HEALTH Magtein Magnesium L-Threonate
TIME HEALTH Magtein® Magnesium L-Threonate 2100mg
TIME HEALTH’s high-strength Magtein® magnesium L-threonate was developed by MIT researchers. TIME HEALTH says it’s the only high-absorption magnesium shown to effectively raise magnesium levels in the brain, supporting learning, memory, mood, relaxation and sleep.

"This supplement has been a game-changer for my focus and sleep. I love how it supports my brain health and helps me wind down at night - it's become a vital part of my daily routine." - Georgie x
