Re: Betaine

[Guest guest]

has found a much less expensive source for Anhydrous Betaine, aka Trimethylglycine.

From Swanson Vitamins, a one month supply costs only $12.11 rather than $22. You need four bottles for a one month supply.

It comes in 500 mg capsules instead of 750 mg tablets. So you need to take six capsules twice a day to create the 6 gram per day dose used in the Mayo Clinic study.

I'm amused by their warning not to use more than one gram per day.

The "Animal Grade" Trimethylglycine is so cheap I assumed a better price could be found, even for pharmaceutical grade.
