* Patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) have trouble with clearing their bronchi from mucus, which in the long-term may produce severe damage to the lungs. Currently, there is no specific treatment for PCD beyond supportive measures such as airway hydration and postural drainage. * Glycine is an amino acid with anti-inflammatory properties that proved to be beneficial in another disease with problematic airway clearance, cystic fibrosis. * Magnesium participates in many crucial chemical reactions, including some that might favor fluidification and mobilization of mucus. Thiamine (vitamin B1) co-participates with magnesium in some mitochondrial enzymatic reactions occurring in the citric acid cycle. * Thus, oral supplements of glycine and magnesium+thiamine might improve symptoms and lung function of patients with PCD, and these effects may even be better if these supplements are
