TMG

500 mg, 60 liquid vegetarian capsules

Item Catalog Number: 01859

Trimethylglycine (TMG) is also called glycine betaine, but the name trimethylglycine signifies that it has three methyl groups attached to each molecule of glycine. TMG was discovered to be beneficial to heart health back in the 1950s.1-5 TMG operates along a pathway similar to that of vitamin B12. It is a “methyl donor,” providing extra methyl groups to hasten the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine.6 When a TMG methyl group is donated to a molecule of homocysteine, it converts to the non-toxic amino acid, methionine.7,8 Research showing TMG’s ability to promote healthy levels of homocysteine, alone or in conjunction with other nutrients, confirms its status as an important nutrient for cardiovascular health.9-17 For example, in a recent cross-sectional survey study, participants who consumed >360 mg/d of TMG had, on average, 10% lower concentrations of homocysteine and 19% lower concentrations of C-reactive protein than those participants who consumed <260 mg/d.18

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of trimethylglycine (TMG)?

When the methyl group of TMG attaches to a homocysteine molecule, this is converted into a non-toxic amino acid, methionine. Research confirms TMG's ability to support normal homocysteine levels, either alone or in combination with other nutrients, and TMG's status as an important nutrient for cardiovascular health has been confirmed. For example, in a recent cross-sectional survey study, participants who consumed> 360 mg / day of TMG had an average 10% lower homocysteine and 19% lower levels of C-reactive protein than those who consumed <260 mg / day TMG.

What is trimethylglycine (TMG)?

Trimethylglycine (TMG) is also called glycine betaine, but trimethylglycine means that it has three methyl groups attached to each glycine molecule. In the 1950s, TMG was found to be beneficial for heart health. TMG works in a pathway similar to that of vitamin B12. This is the "methyl donor" that provides additional methyl groups to accelerate the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine.
