Product details
Betaine powder, also known as trimethylaminoethyl lactone, betaine, and trimethylammonium ethyl lactone, is a quaternary ammonium derivative of glycine. Betaine powder is a nitromethyl compound or trimethyl lactone formed after the hydrogen on the amino acid is replaced by a methyl group. Betaine is sweet and deliquescent. Melting point 293℃, 300℃ decomposition, soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, insoluble in ether, Betaine can be widely used in food, medicine, daily chemical, printing and dyeing, chemical and other fields. Anhydrous betaine is an efficient and high quality nutrient additive. Pharmaceutical grade Betaine powder can be used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, juice industries, as well as dental materials, and betaine can also be used in the fermentation industry.
Applications and Functions of Betaine powder
Methyl Donor: Betaine is an important methyl donor and participates in methylation reactions in the body. Methylation is essential for DNA synthesis, protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the metabolism of homocysteine.Benefit of Betaine powder
Lowers homocysteine levels: High homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and betaine can convert it to methionine through methylation.
Improves liver health: May help treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Enhances athletic performance: Some studies suggest that betaine may improve muscle strength, power, and endurance.
Improves insulin sensitivity: Preliminary research suggests that betaine may be beneficial for blood sugar control.
Supports digestive health (Betaine HCl only): Betaine HCl is used as a gastric acid supplement to help those who do not produce enough stomach acid to digest food.
Production methodprocess of Betaine powder
Betaine powder can be recovered from beet mother liquor. It can also be formed by methylation of amino acetic acid or by the interaction of chloroacetic acid with trimethylamine.
