This compound, or glycine by itself, may be helpful at preventing artery plaques.
I was thinking about taking 10 grams/day of glycine anyway for glynac and general longevity reasons (plus it helps improve the skin); now I definitely will be doing so.
TRI methyl glycine is available now as a supplement. You can purchase pharmaceutical grade on Amazon. It’s been used for years as a liver detoxifier.
How is this different from what this study was using?
Article a bit misleading. It prevents or blocks further atherosclerosis. It does not reverse the process.
I like the fact that it reduces inflammation.
It makes sense that if it does this is in the liver maybe it does it elsewhere.
I recently had a CRP test that showed some elevation, indicating inflammation. Which is the cause of heart disease, not cholesterol etc. Sugar is the biggest culprit.
Would ge interesting to go on the trimethyl glycine in a supplement dosage of at least 650mg or more per day, and redo the CRP after 90 days.
Your body pretty much detoxifies within 90 days, esp the GI lining providing that you stop any pollutants, including alcohol.
Interesting article. Thanks.
I take both glycine/NAC because they have both individual roles which I dimly understand and because together they create —in just the right amounts—glutathion which is a big antioxident. I also take TMG—originally because I was takin NMN or B3 or niacinimide...and its said that these supplements deplete TMG. But I have cycled off all of them for now. And I still take TMG. Now for no reason except habit. It would be nice if TMG did reduce or prevent arterial plaques. But its not clear that TMG is an analog for the peptide mentioned in this article.
Turns out, not always.
That does not seem fair.
