Among the major functions of TMG, the most important role is its methylation support capacity. Methylation is a life-critical process that happens billions of times per second in the body.
It has an influence on hormone regulation, cardiovascular health, gene expression, ageing, detoxification, immunity, DNA repair, neurotransmitter, and brain function
Its next best-known application is as a targeted harmoniser for elevated homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid that, when elevated, has been associated with cardiovascular and cognitive concerns. In TMG’s action as a methyl donor, it helps to convert homocysteine into a much safer compound, methionine. This is highly desirable, as not only does it reduce the pool of homocysteine, but in addition, methionine can then be redeployed to produce other positive compounds, such as S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which is vital for optimising mood, liver function, and DNA methylation.
