Product Data Sheet
Betaine
Catalog No. A71093
Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is an endogenous metabolite that functions primarily as a methyl donor, facilitating the maintenance of normal DNA methylation patterns. This compound is widely distributed in various food sources, including seafood, spinach, and wheat bran, and is recognized for its role as an osmolyte, helping to regulate cellular water and ion balance. In avian species, betaine enhances resilience to heat stress by preventing dehydration and osmotic inactivation, while also promoting beneficial microbial fermentation activity in the intestines under osmotic challenges.
