Glysom is made from glycine, an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body.
It is particularly effective in promoting the deep, non-REM sleep crucial to feeling refreshed and restored in the morning
Glysom is developed by a team of Ajinomoto scientists led by Makoto Bannai.
Ajinomoto Food Ingredients president Brendan Naulty said since not all sleep is created equal, it is not enough to simply increase the number of hours at sleep.
"Glysom zeroes in on sleep quality, inducing the healthy deep sleep critical to optimal well-being," Naulty said.
