TMG Trimethylglycine

Premium Quality TMG Trimethylglycine with No Artificial Colours, Binders, Fillers, or Preservatives

Trimethylglycine (TMG), also known as betaine, is a naturally occurring compound found in foods such as beets and whole grains. It plays a role in methylation processes and has been studied for its potential effects on various aspects of health.

TMG in More Detail

Role in Homocysteine Metabolism

TMG functions as a methyl donor, which plays a role in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine [1]. High homocysteine levels have been associated with cardiovascular risk factors, and TMG supplementation has been studied for its potential in maintaining balanced homocysteine levels [2].

Effects on Liver Function

TMG has been investigated for its role in liver health, particularly in relation to fat metabolism. Some studies suggest that TMG may help support the liver by promoting fat processing and reducing markers of fatty liver disease, though more clinical research is needed [3].

Potential Impact on Athletic Performance

Limited research suggests that TMG may influence exercise performance by supporting muscle function and energy metabolism. Some studies indicate potential improvements in power output and endurance, but findings are mixed and require further validation [4].

Role in Methylation and Cellular Health

As a methyl donor, TMG participates in key biochemical pathways essential for DNA methylation and cellular processes. This function supports normal cellular function and repair, although direct clinical benefits are still being explored [5].

Suggested Use

As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules daily with your first meal of the day, or as recommended by your healthcare professional.

Premium Quality

As with all Kratox supplements, our TMG Trimethylglycine is made using only the highest quality raw ingredients at a proven dosage and contains no artificial colours, binders, fillers, or preservatives.
