Description
Trimethylglycine (TMG), also known as betaine, is a naturally occurring compound primarily extracted from sugar beets. It functions as a methyl donor, crucial for processes such as homocysteine metabolism, creatine synthesis, and liver function. Supplementation with TMG is often used to support cardiovascular health by lowering homocysteine levels and is being researched for its potential benefits in athletic performance and liver health. Common dosages range from 500-6000mg daily. While generally safe, gastrointestinal distress is possible, and rarely, it can exacerbate or trigger trimethylaminuria.
