Kirkman’s Hypoallergenic TMG Capsules
Basically, Trimethylglycine
(TMG) is Dimethylglycine (DMG) with one more methyl group.
The chemical structure of TMG is therefore is actually a glycine
molecule holding onto three methyl groups, so like DMG, TMG
is considered a "methyl donor" or methyl "bank".
The additional methyl group actually makes TMG a more active
methyl donor than DMG which is a benefit in some individuals.
TMG can support the formation of methionine by methylating
homocysteine. Some of this methionine eventually is converted
into SAMe (S-adenosylmthionine), which can help maintain healthy
serotonin levels in the body and support mood and well-being.
As with DMG, TMG in the body, with the help of a coenzyme
of riboflavin, supplies methyl groups which attach to folic
acid to form methylene tetrahydrofolate, an important component
of many biochemical processes in the body including cellular
perception and response.
The source of commercially available TMG including Kirkman's
is from beets.
