TMG Betaine crystalline > 99 % pure 120 g by Unimedica

Betaine – Why the real secret of the sugar beet isn't in its sugar

Betaine is a natural compound (trimethylglycine, TMG) obtained from sugar beets. Betaine contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism when consumed in amounts of at least 1.5 g daily. One scoop of our TMG powder provides 2.4 g of betaine per daily serving. The crystalline powder is tasteless and allows for precise dosing. Its fine texture dissolves easily in liquids, making it suitable for drinks or shakes. A measuring scoop is included.

What is TMG Betaine Powder made of?

TMG Betaine Powder by Unimedica consists exclusively of betaine (trimethylglycine), without any other ingredients, and has a purity of >99%. The powder is vegan and gluten-free.

A small lever with a big impact

Betaine belongs to the so-called methyl group donors. That means it provides chemical building blocks that the body uses for many metabolic processes. One of these functions involves the breakdown of homocysteine. This pathway is important because it is connected to other processes such as the formation of creatine, choline, and SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine).

Why is homocysteine balance important?

A balanced homocysteine level is important because elevated levels can be associated with various metabolic imbalances. Homocysteine is produced during the breakdown of methionine—an amino acid obtained from food. If it is not properly processed, homocysteine can accumulate in the blood. Persistently high homocysteine levels may indicate potential deficiencies in certain nutrients (such as folic acid, vitamin B6, or B12) and can impair the normal function of blood vessels, bones, and nerves. A functioning homocysteine metabolism therefore supports fundamental processes in the body.

Which foods contain betaine?

Betaine naturally occurs in many foods such as beets, spinach, quinoa, whole grains, sweet potatoes, seafood, and broccoli. Industrially, it is often extracted from sugar beet molasses, where it is present in high concentration. Our TMG Betaine Powder provides a standardized and convenient way to ensure consistent intake—independent of diet or seasonal availability.

Who benefits from our betaine powder

The daily dose of 2,400 mg exceeds the minimum effective amount of 1,500 mg. It is suitable for people with an increased need for methyl donors or for those who want to specifically support certain metabolic processes.

Important: A daily intake of more than 4 g betaine may increase cholesterol levels. Do not take this product together with other betaine-containing supplements. Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
