Earthborn Elements TMG Betaine Anhydrous Trimethylglycine 200 Capsules, Pure & Undiluted, No Additives

Like most earthborn products....great price no junk.

It's not recommended, supplements in clear containers because light, especially sunlight, degrades them. I took away a point for that but I love that they don't use additives and it's as affordable as any other brand. These do sometimes make me sleepy at first, and it might be due to decreasing homocysteine as I have the ++ MTHFR variant. You can take it at bedtime if it makes you sleepy.

I have taken other Betaine Anhydrous Trimethylglycine supplements, in Powder form; and peeeeeee-yooooo! that powder stank and upset my tummy. Shooting for that 1.5-3grams daily intake, I was spending more time. With these pills, Came Sealed. Upon opening, a slight slight scent, but nothing to complain about. Capsules went down smooth, and no 'burps' or 'bad breathe' from digestion. No stomach issues, even when taken with just water. Bottle recommended dose is (2) pills at a time; I take (1) pill at a time and space out through the day. Usually taking about (6) capsules total. So far have not experienced any negative effects, but I will continue to take.

Good quality

I was really surprised when I didn’t take it for 4 days .

When I begin taking this product, I did not notice any difference at all from taking this product I have finished and still no difference

It's good for the money. I've bought it before. I just bought it again.

As soon as I opened the bottle I got an intense whiff of fishy odor and this has persisted - also the safety foil was unsealed which might account for part of the issue. The smell indicates that at some point, either during synthesis, or due to poor storage, the TMG in this became contaminated with TMA(Trimethylamine) or TMAO (Trimethylamine N-Oxide). This is an unfortunately regular occurrence with TMG/Betaine anhydrous supplements but I've noticed it much more in some batches than others and it does seem to correlate with lack of airtight storage. Unfortunately TMAO has also been correlated with cardiovascular disease. To be fair, all choline/TMG supplementation is suspect due to the fact that gut bacteria can metabolize both into TMAO, but it seems not great to start with the problem chemical already present.
