## Product Details

Trimethylglycine (TMG) is also called glycine betaine, but the name trimethylglycine signifies that it has three methyl groups attached to each molecule of glycine. Wheat bran is the main dietary source of TMG, with smaller amounts available in other cereal grains.

TMG was found to be beneficial to heart health in the 1950s. Like some of the B vitamins (B6, B12 and folate), TMG is a methyl donor, providing extra methyl groups to hasten the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine.

The role of TMG in healthy homocysteine metabolism is even more important when B vitamin levels are low. Some evidence suggests TMG may be more efficient at regulating homocysteine levels than folate. Research shows TMG's ability to promote healthy levels of homocysteine already within normal range, confirms its status as an important nutrient for cardiovascular and overall health.
