Betaine (TMG) capsules

Methyl group donors such as folic acid, vitamin B12 and betaine are important because they are involved in many biochemical processes in the body, such as DNA methylation, regulation of gene expression and synthesis of neurotransmitters. They also play a role in molecular processes where there is an increased demand for methyl groups. An example of this is the supplementation of NAD boosters, which studies have shown lead to an increased demand for methylation processes and thus benefit from simultaneous dietary supplementation with betaine, for example.(R)

A deficiency of methyl group donors can lead to other various health problems, such as damage to DNA, abnormalities in cell metabolism, and nervous system disorders. Adequate intake of these nutrients through a healthy diet or supplements can help prevent deficiency and support health.

High homocysteine levels in the body, also called hyperhomocysteinemia, can be a risk factor for several health problems. Some possible signs of high homocysteine levels in the body are:

• Cardiovascular disease: High homocysteine levels in the blood increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack, stroke and peripheral arterial disease.
• Vascular damage: Homocysteine can damage blood vessels and lead to atherosclerotic changes, such as deposits of fat and calcium in the arteries.
• Kidney damage: High homocysteine levels can damage the kidneys and increase the risk of kidney disease.
• Osteoporosis: Homocysteine can weaken bones and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
• Memory disorders and dementia: High homocysteine levels may increase the risk of memory disorders and dementia.

It is important to emphasize that a high homocysteine level does not necessarily cause symptoms. Likewise, regular monitoring of the homocysteine level in the blood should be carried out, especially if risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension or diabetes are present. A physician can determine a homocysteine level in the blood through a blood test and take appropriate measures if necessary.

Betaine (TMG) is a water-soluble molecule. It should therefore be taken with plenty of liquid, ideally a glass of water. In principle, betaine (TMG) is extremely well absorbed into the body and has a high bioavailability.(R, R)
