What does TMG do in methylation? Making my inflammatory muscle pain better

[Sophiedw]

TMG makes my inflammatory muscle pain go away. Does anybody know what it does in the methylation cycle?

Vitamin E and selenium made it much better for a time and now make it worse. So presumably they created too much of a by product - homocysteine? And now the tmg is clearing it? My knowledge of methylation is not amazing. Are there any posters who know more or who could link me to some good explanations either on his forum or elsewhere.

Thanks

When you use uncommon acronyms, it's helpful if you explain what it refers to.

TMG stands for trimethylglycine, also known as betaine.

It is a natural methyl donor, so it increases the methylation capacity of the body and should help to reduce homocysteine.

Hope this helps.

Very interesting. Ever since trying a methylation protocol, I have had inflammatory muscle aches and lactic acid burning in my muscles. I've been trying forever to try and find a solution. Perhaps I should some betaine. Maybe I need a small amount of methylation or at least reduce homocysteine.

Hey junkcrap (haha) copper and selenium have also at times made inflammation and muscle pain go down. Balancing act!
