Betaine
Betaine (trimethylglycine) is a versatile nutrient and supplement that improves cardiovascular health by lowering homocysteine, enhances athletic performance (power/endurance), supports liver function, and acts as an osmolyte for cellular hydration.
Betaine (TMG) supplementation is increasingly recommended to counteract present day, widespread health irregularities.

Key benefits of betaine include:
Cardiovascular Health:
Betaine is a methyl donor that helps convert toxic homocysteine into methionine, reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Athletic Performance:
Often used in pre-workouts, it increases power output, muscular endurance, and strength while reducing fatigue.
Liver & Metabolic Health:
It helps prevent fat deposits in the liver (fatty liver disease), reduces inflammation, and may aid in managing obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Cellular Hydration (Osmolyte):
It acts as an osmolyte, protecting cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress.
Digestive Support:
Betaine HCL can help increase stomach acid levels, aiding digestion.
Additional Benefits:
Studies suggest it may reduce cortisol, support muscle protein synthesis, provide neuroprotection against cognitive decline, and improve skin health.
