TMG is trimethylglycine extracted from sugar beets. TMG, also called
anhydrous betaine, contains methyl groups. Methyl donors, such as TMG
and Folic Acid, and methylated B vitamins, such as Methylcobalamin
(methyl-B12) and P5P (methyl-B6) and methylated folic acid are required
for converting homocysteine back into methionine and for the accurate
synthesis of DNA and RNA, which is essential for the production of
normal cells.
Methylation tends to be impaired in individuals within the autism
spectrum, with an estimate by the Pfeiffer Clinic in Chicago of at least
85% of autistic children being classified as under-methylators.
Methylation is required in order to produce glutathione which is an
anti-oxidant critical to the body's natural process of detoxification
and removal of heavy metals from the body.
Many people within the autism community use TMG or DMG to support
methylation. Some find that one form works better for themselves
or their child, than another. Our liquid Behavior
Balance product provides DMG and methylated B6 and B12 as methyl
donors.
These pure, high-quality TMG crystals are great for sensitive
individuals. The crystal powder tastes sweet and may easily be
mixed into drinks or smoothies. An easy and convenient way support
methylation, it is recommended that TMG be taken together with B
vitamins.
