Thank you for explaining the 3%–5% paradoxical excitatory glycine reaction at NMDA receptors

Every other health site acted like I was crazy when I said taking magnesium glycinate at night gave me vivid dreams and made me feel wired. Learning that glycine can act as an NMDA co-agonist in people with high baseline glutamate made total sense—switching my dose to breakfast and using magnesium taurate at night solved it immediately.
