Product Description
Betaine, also referred to as anhydrous betaine or trimethylglycine (TMG), serves as a critical methyl group donor. It participates in a wide range of biological processes, including liver function maintenance, cellular proliferation, and carnitine synthesis.
As an amino acid betaine and glycine derivative, it plays an essential role in modulating cellular hydration and sustaining normal physiological cell functions.

Product Application
Betaine is incorporated as an active ingredient in toothpaste for alleviating dry mouth symptoms. Furthermore, it is utilized for the management of homocystinuria, a metabolic disorder that disrupts the primary biosynthetic pathway of methionine.
Additionally, betaine aids the maintenance of immune function and improves athletic performance. It may also lower the risk of developing benign colorectal tumors known as colorectal adenomas.
