7 Nutrition TMG - betaine anhydrous

7 Nutrition TMG is pure betaine anhydrous (trimethylglycine) enriched with vitamin B6 for an even better effect. Trimethylglycine is intended to help in the proper methylation processes, and thus support the health of the circulatory system, ensure the proper metabolism of homocysteine and support the liver in detoxification processes. TMG supplementation is not yet popular - which is surprising, especially since research has shown that its effect on exercise performance is staggering. For example, one study (Hoffman et al., 2009) showed an increase in strength after just 15 days of pre-workout supplementation. The exact mechanism of action of trimethylglycine is not yet known, but one hypothesis suggests that it increases creatine levels.

TMG also has other potential health benefits, such as:

• improving liver function and preventing fatty liver
• increasing physical efficiency and muscle strength
• protecting the mitochondria and improving cellular energy production
• improvement of mood and cognitive functions

How does TMG work?

TMG plays an important role in the body as a methyl group donor. This means that it can donate methyl groups to other compounds, which is necessary for many biochemical processes. One of them is the methylation of homocysteine, i.e. its conversion into methionine. Methionine is not only an essential amino acid, but also a precursor of SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine), which is a key factor in regulating gene expression, neurotransmitter synthesis and protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Too high levels of homocysteine in the body are harmful to health because they can damage the walls of blood vessels and promote the formation of blood clots. Therefore, TMG may have a beneficial effect on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, hypertension and myocardial infarction.

TMG dosage:

1 scoop (1g) once or twice daily as needed.
