In fact, a 2021 revision of Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition found that betaine supplementation of less than 4,000 milligrams per day helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels (which is one of the reasons we include 1,700 milligrams of betaine in our methylation support+ supplement).*
Another meta-analysis of Journal of Chiropractic Medicine shows that betaine supplementation can Reduce homocysteine levels by up to 20%.* For people with a variant of the MTHFR gene, that is, approximately Half of the population—this can be a game changer for optimizing your methylation cycle and overall health.
Beyond the methylation cycle, betaine also helps modulate plasma lipids, including LDL and total cholesterol, and promotes healthy myocardial metabolism and heart contraction.* With their collective roles in lipid regulation, metabolism, methylation, and cardiovascular function, we cannot ignore that betaine is a crucial player in heart health.*
