  • Listening to the Q&A with Neal about Glycine. Makes zero mention of the list of benefits including protecting muscle and collagen, reducing osteoarthritis, blood sugar control, nervous system regulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, digestion, and amazing sleep benefits. Dismisses it as only beneficial for those with stroke or schizophrenia. Speaking of misinformed.
