TMG Crystalsâ„¢ is trimethylglycine extracted from sugar beets. TMG, also called anhydrous betaine, contains methyl groups. Methyl donors, such as TMG and Folic Acid, are required for the reduction of homocysteine back into methionine and for the accurate synthesis of DNA and RNA, which is essential for the production of normal cells. 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. Impairment of methylation results in abnormal cell synthesis and elevated levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid and a serious health risk.
