Trimethylglycine (Betaine)
Trimethylglycine (Betaine) is an amino acid that plays a very important and specific role in the body, converting homocysteine into methionine.
Methionine is a useful amino acid that is used in both protein and creatine synthesis in the muscles. High levels of homocysteine can impair the hormonal response to glucose and is a risk factor in heart disease.
