Why TMG (Betaine) Supplements Are So Popular

Trimethylglycine supplements (also known as Betaine) have good human studies not only for improved muscle performance but it may also help to reduce dementia rates. Let’s have a deep dive into the research.

when you didnt know dr brad was a BEAST 💪

[J.D.Mc.]

Just started taking this. 1 week later i feel great. Better focas, solid lifting, and oddly my stools are back to normal. Also my blood pressure is now better. I have no idea why TMG helps my IBS but it does! I can't find any info on this online.

I just took TMG, now I'm sitting on the couch.

I have early dementia symptoms and I’ve taken tmg today, made me feel a bit shaky, wired and nauseous, especially when I have my coffee, but I’m feeling a bit clearer and more energetic. I’ll report back.

It’s not as good as bena gene, I wish you’d do a video on that, that’s by far the most effective supplement I take.

Edit : tmg is much better than bena gene, I feel happy, calmer, more energetic my dementia symptoms have reduced significantly.

But I am taking tumeric, collagen, vitamin k 2 . Hylaronic acid (sometimes) magnesium threonate, , l theanine and rhodiola. I feel Amazing

Thnx for his info. Started TMG for high blood pressure ( read that homocysteine could be a cause), but encountered diarrhea. Hope it will go away after getting used to TMG.

I really like you being critical in your general approach. Great job!

[michaelransom]

Brad got Jacked! But.. I have to ask the question again... why TMG as opposed to just taking Choline???
TMG is a metabolite of Choline, so why wouldn't you start with choline to get the cognitive benefits from the boost to acetylcholine levels as
I used to think it was to avoid boosting TMAO levels, but that also occurs with Betaine, albeit to a somewhat lesser degree.
I've never found an answer to this....

I'd like to see a comprehensive video on which supplements to take to boost exercise performance (NR, NMN, any adaptogens, etc) and which ones to avoid that might prevent/blunt hormesis (antioxidants, metformin, berberine, etc). I'm really more interested in the latter.

Just a tip for those who don't know, lifting heavy 1-3 reps over 90% of your Maximum does give maximum strength gains with minimal muscle growth, if you don't care about optimizing for strength, but instead want big muscles then you can choae any rep range from 6, all the way up to 35 reps to get very similar muscle growth as long as it is done close to failure. So if you start with a weight you can do 6 reps with then you don't have to increase the weight until you can do over 30 reps until failure, if you prefer that.

This is great for those who likes to lift light weights (must be at least 40% of max) instead of heavy. Just don't lift too light weights, .if you can make above 40 reps in a set then it becomes more of endurance training instead.

4 mins video, you don't see that very often. I like it a lot!!

Thank you Dr Stanfield for your value added assessments and backing up your assessments with studies. I appreciate your efforts to help me make best decisions to improve and maintain my health at age 71…life is wonderful and precious…

[MikeVarnco]

Excellent presentation Dr. Brad. I regularly take TMG along with NR and this video has cleared up some questions I had.

[GHJK-rqtv]

Doctor what are your thoughts on emerging popular adaptogens such as Fadogia Agrestis and Tongkat Ali?Are you optimistic about their potential possible benefits?

[maksymzavershynskyi]

TMG converts homocysteine to methionine which reverts back to homocysteine, which makes it an inefficient mechanism. Plus even when TMG decreases homocysteine, it increases methionine which is not good for longevity. So to decrease homocysteine it is better to take Serine+B6 which not only does not produce methionine but it also contributes to glutathione production, which is a powerful antioxidant.

Nice gains. I take collagen + AKG + creatine + TMG, those are the main supplements that have been known to aid muscle growth. After a year and a half I can overhead press 80kg for 5 reps, people think I'm on steroids, only lift 3 days a week, it's great. Not sure if due to the supplements, but I have a pretty positive impression of them so far

[mwroutledge]

I under methylate and also have histamine intolerance, so I take it with NAC as an alternative to SAME. Been using it for years. If not for this is be on antihistamines daily.

[PestisNonSapien_GMO_exHuman]

I take TMG for homocysteine and because its a good methl doner which I think is beneficial for certain longevity supplements. For muscles I take creatine and HMB. Mostly because I'm afraid my work, which is basically 12 hours of cardio, is burning muscle instead of building it.

2000 mg of betaine (2g) looks like a good idea. Creatine(5 g) is also helpful with a pre workout(6 g citrulline malate, 3.2 g beta alanine, 2g taurine) needing 1 g of l tyrosine to delay muscle soreness. I'll have to buy betaine & 1 g l tyrosine.(garter snake veins are on the way. Farmer carries also build grip strength...)

[mimimoon]

Another terrific video Dr. Brad! I was taking TMG with NMN from DNA but ran out. Time to repurchase! 😊
