Axe & Sledge Betaine

WHAT IS BETAINE? BETAINE ANHYDROUS IS ALSO KNOWN AS TRIMETHYL GLYCINE (TMG). DERIVED FROM THE AMINO ACID GLYCINE WHICH HAS THREE METHYL GROUPS ATTACHED. BETAINE IS NATURALLY DERIVED FROM THE BREAKDOWN OF CHOLINE AND IT'S ALSO FOUND IN A NUMBER OF FOOD SOURCES. THE MOST POPULAR OF THESE FOOD SOURCES CAN BE FOUND IN BEETS. BETAINE RECEIVED ITS NAME BECAUSE IT WAS SOURCED FROM SUGAR BEETS, AND THE SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR BEETS ISBETA VULGARIS. BETAINE CAN ALSO BE FOUND IN OTHER FOODS SUCH AS SPINACH, SEAFOOD, AND WINES. THE MOST CRITICAL REACTION IS WHEN BETAINE PERFORMS THE FUNCTION IN THE METHYLATION OF THE AMINO ACID HOMOCYSTEINE TO FORM METHIONINE. METHIONINE IS IMPORTANT IN THE BODY'S INTERNAL SYNTHESIS OF CREATINE. SO, ONE WAY THAT BETAINE MAY BOOST MUSCLE STRENGTH AND SIZE IS BY INCREASING CREATINE PRODUCTION IN THE BODY.  METHIONINE ALSO PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MUSCLE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. BY HAVING MORE METHIONINE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROCESS, THE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IS THUS ENHANCED. T
