Siim Land: Most People Miss This Glycine Benefit

Key Takeaways

• Supplement with glycine (10g/day) to reduce advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and lower inflammation/oxidative stress.
• Consume collagen peptides (5g/day) to reduce AGE levels and improve insulin sensitivity based on clinical trials.
• Avoid high-AGE cooking methods: prioritize boiling, steaming, and poaching over frying, grilling, or roasting.
• Manage blood sugar through exercise, weight loss, and healthy lifestyle to reduce endogenous AGE production.
• Limit high-AGE foods like fried meats, roasted chicken skin, processed cheeses, and deep-fried dishes.

Supplements & Protocols Mentioned

• Glycine: 10g/day (Siim Land’s personal dose) or 5g 3x/day for diabetics (shown to reduce HbA1c).
• Marine collagen peptides: 5g/day for 12 weeks (reduced AGEs by 4.7% in RCT).

Notable Quotes

“Glycine suppresses the AGE-RAGE pathway, which reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.”

“10 to 30% of dietary AGEs are absorbed — chronic inflammation and diabetes are the bigger concern.”

Bottom Line

Take 10g glycine daily, prioritize collagen peptides, and cook with low-AGE methods (steaming/boiling) to combat skin aging and systemic AGE damage.
