Newgreen Supply Amino Acid Natural Betaine Supplement Trimethylglycine Tmg Powder CAS 107-43-7 Betaine Powder
Product Description
Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a naturally occurring compound that is found in a variety of foods, including beets (from which it gets its name), spinach, whole grains, and certain seafood. It was first isolated from sugar beets in the 19th century. Betaine is chemically classified as a type of amino acid, although it does not function as a building block for proteins like traditional amino acids.

Function
Methylation Reactions: Trimethylglycine is involved in methylation reactions, where it donates a methyl group (CH3) to other molecules. Methylation is a crucial process for the synthesis of important compounds like neurotransmitters, DNA, and certain hormones.
Osmoregulation: In some organisms, Trimethylglycine serves as an osmoprotectant, helping them maintain proper water balance and survive in environments with high salinity or other osmotic stress.
Liver Health: Trimethylglycine has been studied for its potential role in supporting liver health. It may help reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver, which is beneficial for conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Exercise Performance: Some studies suggest that Trimethylglycine supplementation may enhance exercise performance, possibly by improving oxygen consumption and reducing fatigue.
Applications
Nutritional Supplements: Trimethylglycine is available as a dietary supplement. People may take betaine supplements to support methylation processes, promote liver health, or enhance exercise performance.
Animal Feed: Trimethylglycine is often used as an additive in animal feed, particularly for poultry and swine. It can improve growth performance, feed efficiency, and help animals cope with stressors.
Food Industry: Trimethylglycine is sometimes used as a food additive for its potential benefits, including its role as a methyl donor. However, its use in the food industry is not as widespread as in other applications.
Medical Applications: Trimethylglycine has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver disorders. Research in these areas is ongoing.
