Betaine compound supporting methylation, homocysteine reduction, and power output

We rank Trimethylglycine by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Trimethylglycine, also known as betaine, is a naturally occurring compound. It is primarily used to support methylation, which is a chemical process the body uses to turn genes on or off and create important molecules.

Why it's used

It is used for several specific health and performance goals:

How it's made

To create the supplement, manufacturers typically extract the compound from natural sources like sugar beets. This raw material is then purified and processed into a concentrated powder, which is then packed into capsules or mixed into drink powders.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the raw materials are relatively accessible, but the purification process required to ensure a high-quality supplement adds to the overall cost.
