BETAINA is an amino acid - also known as trimethylglycine (TMG). It is a derivative of glycine, the simplest protein amino acid. TMG was first isolated in the 19th century from sugar beets (Beta vulgaris - beta is the Latin generic name for beets). This is where the common name betaine comes from, which over time came to refer to a whole class of compounds of this type, and TMG itself was distinguished as glycine betaine..

The function of Betaine and its occurrence:

Its most important function is to help maintain normal homocysteine metabolism. Beneficial effects occur when 1.5 g of betaine is consumed daily.

TMG (anhydrous betaine) can be produced in the human body in limited quantities, but in order to replenish its supply, it is good to choose suitable products. Rich sources of trimethylglycine are mainly goji berries, wheat bran and germ, raw and canned beets, spinach, and seafood - shrimp and clams.

Pepsin and its role:

Pepsin - the active form of pepsinogen, an enzyme secreted by the glandular cells (chief cells) of the stomach. Pepsin is a component of gastric juice. Pepsinogen is converted into pepsin under the influence of the acid content of gastric juice.
