Life Extension – TMG
Trimethylglycine (TMG) is also called glycine betaine, but the name trimethylglycine signifies that it has three methyl groups attached to each molecule of glycine. TMG was discovered to be beneficial to heart health back in the 1950s. TMG operates along a pathway similar to that of vitamin B12. It is a “methyl donor,” providing extra methyl groups to hasten the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine. When a TMG methyl group is donated to a molecule of homocysteine, it converts to the non-toxic amino acid, methionine. Research showing TMG’s ability to promote healthy levels of homocysteine, alone or in conjunction with other nutrients, confirms its status as an important nutrient for cardiovascular health. For example, in a recent cross-sectional survey study, participants who consumed >360 mg/d of TMG had, on average, 10% lower concentrations of homocysteine and 19% lower concentrations of C-reactive protein than those participants who consumed <260 mg/d.

Pure quality TMG without fillers or binders at a good price. TMG is a very overlooked methyl donor and supplement with many potential benefits. I’ve been taking it for a few months and it’s been a game changer for me.

Hard to find TMG in powder form without any filler. Very convenient and easy to take. Has benefits on its own, but also great when combined with an NAD supplement. The dose is on point.

take this with nmn, it seems to be fine, no side effects. It is believed to help heart arteries and circulation while regulating extra NMN in the blood. I can’t say that I can feel positive or negative effects, but it does not give me any effects

A good powder. I always prefer supplements in powder form because it is cheaper than capsules and there are no unnecessary ingredients. The only downside is the taste – isn’t great, but that’s what you’d expect from TMG regardless

I don’t feel good with pure glicyne – wake up at night so my therapist recommended this form and I feel great with it.

TMG has been studied for many potential health benefits, including the ability to improve heart health, improve athletic performance, promote healthy insulin levels, and protect against depression. However, it can also cause side effects

It is an excellent product for reducing homocysteine and supporting methylation in the body. I take it myself with all the coenzyme methyl-folate, methyl-B12, PHP-B6 and R5P-B2 and recommend it to clients as well. It’s the taste

Life Extension TMG is a great product. It lowers homocysteine. I literally feel younger and more alive taking it.

TMG tablets (now the brand) are way too big and not fun to swallow. So I was happy to see that they had good quality TMG powder in stock again. It’s so much easier to take it in powder form, plus the only ingredient is TMG and n

Works great, as expected. However the price is a bit high. Buying TMG in bulk is more affordable. One thing to watch out for with TMG is the increase in lipids, that’s what happened when I took a few doses a day for ac
