Description and Uses

Betaine, also called betaine anhydrous, trimethylglycine (TMG) is a methyl group donor and involved in liver function, cellular reproduction, and helping make carnitine. It is an amino-acid betaine and a glycine derivative, with a role in regulating cellular hydration and maintaining cell function.

betaine is a surfactant, humectant, and excellent skin conditioner. It is also used to build product viscosity and as a foam booster. It is found mostly in skin cleansers, shampoos, and bath products.
