For example:

One of the first studies to report impressive gains in strength and power with betaine supplementation came from my old lab at the University of Connecticut in 2010.1 Since then, a number of other studies have also concluded that betaine can, in fact, boost strength and power.2,3,4 But the latest study, performed at the College of Springfield in Massachusetts, is particularly relevant for bodybuilders.

Researchers had weight-trained males follow an undulating periodized weight-training program for six weeks.5 One group supplemented with 1.25 grams of betaine twice per day, and the other group supplemented with a placebo twice per day. They reported in a 2013 issue of "The Journal of The International Society of Sports Nutrition" that the subjects supplementing with betaine increased muscle mass by 4 pounds and arm size by 10 percent, while they decreased body fat by 7 percent. On the other side, the placebo group experienced no increase in muscle mass or arm size and no body fat loss.
 
Here are just a few reasons why you should add betaine anhydrous to your creatine anhydrous:

Oxidation of fatty acids (lipolysis, aka fat loss)
Increases SAM-e levels in the brain
Improves intestinal health
Protects liver and kidneys
Helps Prevent osteoporosis, cardiovascular thrombosis and arthroscleroris

Also, Betaine anhydrous is derived from choline and has been shown to lower homocysteine levels, which in turn enhances creatine uptake in the muscles and who doesn't want more uptake of their creatine!!
 
Taking 1.25 grams of betaine twice per day for 2 weeks resulted in: 6.4% higher growth hormone post-exercise, 11.7% higher IGF-1, and 12.2% lower cortisol.[1] All three hormonal changes positively influence muscle growth.
 
Strength and Power

Taking 1.25 grams of betaine twice per day for 2 weeks resulted in: 16% higher bench press power, 24.6% higher isometric bench press, 10% higher isometric squat.[3] So betaine could potentially increase your lifts significantly.
 
Betaine seems to increase strength, power, and elicits hormonal changes in a muscle-building way. It may possibly increase strength and power endurance too. So the research shows it to be an all round effective supplement, making it an extremely effective option for high power sports like Bodybuilding.
 
Hmm.

Seems like: a) an insane value; b) a highly effective product, and; c) a solid innovation.

Must be USPlabs?

And P.S., I am back.
 
ah ****..mullet is back.
 
Betaine is also highly synergistic when taken with creatine. By preventing the production of homocysteine, betaine leads to a higher production of creatine in the body as well as a higher absorption and utilization rate of supplemental creatine because more of it can be used without being broken down. Betaine is being thrown in virtually every creatine and protein product now because of this reason. Betaine also propels the repair of joints and even liver tissue, supporting improved recovery. New research supports that betaine can directly enhance muscle power and strength. The betaine HCL can be taken with meals and betaine anhydrous can be taken with sports supplements or with creatine without risk of an upset stomach.

Many users supplementing with both betaine and creatine enriched products have been complaining about their muscle getting bigger and stronger. Well, not exactly complaining, but definitely bragging. There’s a good chance the creatine being added to these products is better absorbed in the betaine enriched products because of betaine’s effects on homocysteine levels
 
also because betaine is a modified amino acid known as trimethylglycine. It’s effective for boosting muscle strength and power by as much as 25% and increasing the number of reps you can do by 10 percent, and who doesn't want increased reps!
 
Betaine has been shown to protect internal organs, improve vascular risk factors, and enhance performance.
It also donates a methyl group to the
betaine in human nutrition said:
As a methyl donor, betaine participates in the methionine cycle—primarily in the human liver and kidneys. Inadequate dietary intake of methyl groups leads to hypomethylation in many important pathways, including 1) disturbed hepatic protein (methionine) metabolism as determined by elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations and decreased S-adenosylmethionine concentrations, and 2) inadequate hepatic fat metabolism, which leads to steatosis (fatty accumulation) and subsequent plasma dyslipidemia

Betaine (trimethylglycine) lowers plasma homocysteine, a possible risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
 
Betaine may improve theNAD+:NADH ratio by accepting nucleophilic H+ yielding DMG, CH4 and the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ thereby attenuating cellular acidosis and improving glycolyticmetabolism (Ghyczy and Boros 2001)
 
Betaine (pronounced "BEET-uh-een") is also sometimes sold under its technical name of trimethylglycine, or as TMG, for short. The names are pretty much interchangeable; no matter what you call it, it's made of the amino acid glycine with three methyl groups attached to it.
 
n the human body, betaine is naturally derived from the breakdown of choline, and it's also found in a number of food sources. One of these, you probably guessed, is beets.
 
Betaine got its name because it was originally isolated from sugar beets, known by their Latin name of Beta vulgaris. But ironically, a number of other foods are far richer sources. For example, 3 oz. of wheat germ contains more than 1,000 mg, which is more than four times the betaine in the same amount of beets. Spinach and quinoa both provide more than twice the amount of betaine as beets. But the name has still stuck.
 
Betaine will increase Growth Hormone levels
 
both are tried and proven ergogenics that can aid in your fitness goals. No matter if its fat loss, strength/muscle gain. both can be used all year around
 
Simply put, Betaine Anhydrous has been shown to increase the absorption of Creatine Anyhrous. Betaine has been used clinically to reduce levels of homocysteine (high occurring amounts are associated with heart disease and osteoporosis). Lower levels of homocysteine enhance creatine uptake in the muscle cells through allowing absorption to occur with less breakdown. Betaine also leads to a greater natural production of creatine in the body, so double plus! Betaine and creatine work better together than individually, thus putting them in one supp makes sense.
 
Lot's of good info here!
 
Low plasma betaine concentrations correlated with an unfavourable lipid profile
 
Experienced resistance-trained menwere divided into two groups, prescribed a progressiveresistance training program, and supplemented with 2.5 g/ day betaine for 6 weeks. Compared with placebo, wedemonstrated for the first time in humans that betainesupplementation can significantly improve body composi-tion by both increasing lean mass and reducing fat mass(Cholewa et al. 2013)
 
The accumulation of betaine in cells during conditions of metabolic and ionic stress (Courtenay et al. 2000)resulting in increased sarcoplasmic osmolality may also have contributed to increases in muscle mass. The osmo-regulated betaine transporter (BTG-1) is found in liver andskeletal muscle, and readily takes up betaine to maintain higher tissue to plasma betaine concentrations there by promoting cellular hyper-hydration (Slow et al. 2009)
 
In all of these plants, betaine serves the same crucial function: protecting the cells from stress, like what happens during droughts or extreme temperatures. It has also been used as a supplement in animal feeds for decades, in order to make pigs, chickens, and salmon healthier and more resilient.
 
In human health circles, betaine has also been revered for its health promoting effects. People have taken it to support joint and liver health and promote healthy inflammation levels.* In some studies, betaine was even been found to support healthy cholesterol levels, already in normal range.*
 
In humans, most of betaine's purported benefits derive from its role as a methyl donor. A methyl donor is any molecule that can transfer a methyl group, which is a carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms, to another molecule. Many important biochemical processes in the body rely on methylation.
 
Betaine anhydrous, which is sometimes known as trimethylglycine, is a member of the vitamin B complex. Specifically, betaine is a derivative of choline. Choline is a lipotropic. A lipotropic is an agent that aids in preventing surplus fat from collecting in the liver. Without choline, the liver would not function correctly and liver deterioration may occur.
 
Betaine helps in the creation of methionine, which is important in creatine synthesis. Creatine is likely one of the most studied supplements in history. Aside from it's performance enhancing qualities, it seems generally well tolerated by most people.

Betaine anhydrous is derived from choline and has been shown to lower homocysteine levels, which in turn enhances creatine uptake in the muscles.
 
BET+CR presented greater muscle power output than PL in the squat exercise following supplementation (p=0.003 and p=0.041, respectively). Similarly, bench press average power was significantly greater for the CR-supplemented groups. CR and BET+CR groups also showed significant pre- to post-test increase in 1-RM squat and bench press (CR: p=0.027 and p<0.0001; BET+CR: p=0.03 and p<0.0001 for upper- and lower-body assessments, respectively) (Roschel)
 
Best known for its role in taming inflammation, betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, has many other functions in the body. This derivative of the amino acid glycine helps

• protect cells, proteins and enzymes from environmental stress
• maintain normal cell volume
• support liver and heart functioning
• stimulate the body to make both carnitine and creatine (Spano, MuscleandBody)
 
Betaine Anhydrous is also known by the following names:

Trimethylglycine (TMG)
Methanaminium1-carboxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-, inner salt
2-(Trimethylammonio) ethanoic acid
hydroxide, inner salt
(Carboxymethyl) trimethylammonium hydroxide inner salt
Trimethylammonioacetate
Glycine
Glycine Betaine
Trimethylbetaine
Trimethylglycocoll
Abromine
Glycylbetaine
Oxyneurine.
 
Betaine's chief purpose in the body is the lowering of homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is a potentially toxic substance that results from meat digestion, and is thought to contribute to the onset of arthrosclerosis, osteoporosis, cardiovascular thrombosis, skeletal abnormalities and ocular deformities. By lowering or controlling homocystine levels, betaine reduces ones risk for these conditions.1 Betaine Anhydrous is also administered to persons with homocystinuria (an inherited metabolic amino acid disorder that leads to an abundance of homocysteine in the blood) to help treat their condition.
 
etaine has shown promise as a treatment for alcohol-induced fatty liver disease and animal research has demonstrated that Betaine exerts protective effects on the liver

In humans, betaine is essential to the maintenance of intestinal function and cell production, it can protect the kidneys from damage9, and it serves to protect DNA and DNA formation. Betaine has also been shown to increase low plasma methionine and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) levels under certain conditions
 
Betaine Strength, Endurance, & Muscle Gains.............. and I like it !!
 
Betaine hydrochloride (betaine HCl) increases the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the stomach relative to how much is taken before meals.
 
Taking betaine HCl before meals helps the stomach make optimum use of all dietary nutrients, also optimizing the immune system gut flora, without which, even with a healthy diet, many diseases including cancer can arise and propagate.
 
Betaine in the 2.5g range which is a pubmed studied dosage has been shown to aid strength, LBM, and gains related to trainees dosed pre-workout.
 
Both creatine and betaine have been studied and shown to help increase LBM so the two together are very beneficiary
 
a daily 2.5 g betaine has a weak subtle ergogenic effect in strength athletes – they are able to perform a few more reps after taking the stuff. The most recent Danisco study we've seen was published in 2010. [J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2010 Jul 19; 7:27.]
