TMG Betaine
500mg Capsules

Betaine

Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine (TMG), is produced by the body through the oxidation of choline, a compound which was, until recently, known as vitamin B4 and counted among the B vitamins. TMG betaine is an activated form of choline.

Due to its 3 methyl groups, betaine is an important methyl donor. Among many functions, these methyl groups contribute to the endogenous synthesis of creatine, methionine, lecithin and carnitine as well as the conversion of homocysteine, a harmful amino acid, into methionine. Betaine thus contributes to the reduction of homocysteine levels. The production of methionine also supports the synthesis of S-adenosyl methionine, a central methyl donor in humans which plays a role in numerous reactions.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Betaine contributes to:

• Normal homocysteine metabolism

Directions

Take 1 capsule (500mg TMG betaine) before a meal with 200ml water daily.

Daily Requirements

There are no official dietary guidelines for betaine. This compound can be synthesised by the body itself, so many people can completely cover their daily requirements endogenously. The following recommendation for dietary supplementation is stated in the literature:

Betaine/TMG: 500mg to 2000mg

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.
