Betaine

Trimethylglycine, a natural derivative of the amino acid glycine found in plants and marine organisms: it donates methyl groups to turn homocysteine into methionine and protects cells as an osmolyte; as a medicine it is used in homocystinuria. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?Its name comes from the sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), in which it was discovered: today it is also added to PCR reactions to better amplify GC-rich stretches of DNA.
