TMG (Betaine Anhydrous)

What is TMG (Trimethylglycine) and what does TMG do? Trimethylglycine (TMG) protects the cardiovascular system by neutralizing harmful homocysteine while offering valuable nutritional support for healthy liver function. TMG acts as a methyl donor, providing extra methyl groups to hasten the conversion of harmful homocysteine into the biologically safe and beneficial amino acid methionine. Methyl donors, such as TMG and folic acid, are required for converting homocysteine back into methionine and for the accurate synthesis of DNA and RNA, which is essential for the production of normal cells. When a TMG methyl group is donated to a molecule of homocysteine, it converts to the non-toxic amino acid, methionine, and then into S-adenosyl-methionine (SAMe). Impairment of methylation results in abnormal cell synthesis and elevated levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid and a serious health risk. Methylation can be inhibited by inadequately functioning key enzymes, excessive protein and f
