After 60 days on NMN, my patients consistently report better energy, sharper focus, and improved recovery. The NAD+ science is undeniable.
TMG (Trimethylglycine)
A methyl donor to pair with NMN
TMG, also known as betaine, is a naturally occurring compound that helps your body carry out methylation, a process involved in cell division, energy metabolism, and the production of antioxidants. It's a natural companion to NMN, since your body uses methyl groups when processing nicotinamide.
• Supports methylation: Provides methyl groups your body uses in essential cellular processes.
• Supports healthy homocysteine levels: TMG helps convert homocysteine back into
methionine, and studies show it can reduce elevated homocysteine.
• Supports liver function: Methyl donors play a role in normal liver metabolism.
• Complements your NMN routine: Helps replenish methyl groups used in nicotinamide
metabolism.

How It Works
TMG (trimethylglycine), also known as betaine anhydrous, is an amino acid derivative that supports the body's methylation processes.
Methylation is a fundamental biochemical process in which a methyl group (one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms, CH3) is transferred from one molecule to another. It is involved in cell division, cellular energy production, histamine clearance, metabolism, gene expression (epigenetics), the formation of neurotransmitters, and the production of antioxidants.
Your body draws on a “methyl pool” of available methyl groups. When the supply is adequate, methylation generally runs smoothly. A few factors can increase demand or reduce efficiency.
Common variants in the MTHFR gene can reduce the efficiency of folate-dependent methylation, which may contribute to higher homocysteine levels, particularly when folate intake is low. TMG supports a separate pathway that converts homocysteine to methionine without relying on MTHFR.
DNA methylation patterns change with age, and researchers are actively studying how those changes relate to healthy aging. Whether supplementing methyl donors influences this has not been established.
Your body uses methyl groups to clear excess nicotinamide, a by-product of NAD+ metabolism. There is currently no clinical evidence that NMN depletes the methyl pool, but some people choose to pair NMN with a methyl donor such as TMG as a precaution.
