Trimethylglycine (TMG) assists homocysteine to be metabolized into methionine, resulting in the production of DMG (dimethylglycine).* Further metabolism of TMG produces the enzyme methyltetrahydrofolate reductase (the active form of folic acid)

Betaine anhydrous is a naturally-occurring chemical in the human body. It can also be found in foods such as beets, spinach, cereals, seafood, and wine. It is also known as trimethylglycine (TMG), an amino acid derivative found in plants and one of the first betaines to be discovered.
Trimethylglycine (TMG) is involved in the homocysteine cycle and is metabolised into methionine, resulting in the production of DMG (dimethylglycine). The two major functions of TMG in humans are as an osmolyte to protect cells under stress and as a methyl-group donor, which supports overall biotransformation of toxins.
