Description

TMG is a cofactor in methylation. This process has been shown to reduce homocysteine levels and raise methionine levels. Trimethylglycene helps synthesize serotonin and melatonin,1 raises SAMe levels and supports nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.2

During the 1950s, Trimethylglycine (TMG or glycine betaine) was found to support heart health.146-150 TMG supports the reduction of homocysteine and the increase of methionine.151-153 Excess homocysteine levels don’t only affect the cardiovascular system. Additional symptoms may include3

  • Extreme tiredness
  • Osteoporosis
  • Blood clots
  • Seizures
  • Abnormal bone structure

Studies suggest that TMG may benefit those with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. One human study done at the Mayo Clinic reported improvement in steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis.2
