What is Jarrow TMG (Tri Methyl Glycine)(120 Tabs) ?
TMG 500 contains Trimethylglycine (TMG) extracted from sugar beets. TMG is also known as anhydrous betaine. TMG is a highly effective donor of methyl groups and is a powerful reducer of homocysteine to biologically safe methionine. Homocysteine is a toxic transient metabolite of methionine and is a significant heart risk factor. Homocysteine is reduced back to biologically safe methionine by methyl groups donated by TMG and enzymes that require Folic Acid, B12 and methyl groups or back to cysteine by B6. Methylation is inhibited by inadequately functioning key enzymes, excessive protein and fat intake, poor diet, inadequate intake of methyl groups, coffee, alcohol or by smoking.
