N, N-Dimethylglycine

Dimethylglycine or DMG is a non-protein amino acid found naturally in animal and plant cells. DMG is produced in cells as an intermediate in the metabolism of choline to glycine. DMG is formed from trimethylglycine or betaine. DMG is absorbed by the small intestine and transported by portal circulation to the liver. The DMG that is not metabolized is circulated to various body tissues. Scientifically, DMG is known as N, N-Dimethylglycine.

DMG has demonstrated the ability to enhance humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. It has not only been used to enhance immune system function but also to improve neurological function and to enhance anti-viral and anti-bacterial defenses.
