What is N,N-Dimethyl Glycine HCL?

N,N-dimethylglycine hydrochloride (HCL) is a dimethylated form of the amino acid glycine with a chemical structure just like choline.

Dimethylglycine is also known as vitamin B15 or pangamic acid. It helps to optimize oxygen uptake and offers quicker recovery time from strenuous exercise.

It functions as a methyl donor, very much like betaine HCL. Methyl donors are helpful in the synthesis of several brain chemicals and can have an influence on energy, well-being, alertness and concentration.

Other compounds considered to be methyl donors include trimethylglycine (TMG), SAM-e and DMAE, together with the B vitamins folic acid and B12.

DMG is a normal physiologically active nutrient available in foods such as cereal grains, liver and beans. Humans also naturally produce DMG in small amounts.

As a nutritional supplement, DMG functions as a building block for the synthesis of many important substances such as choline, SAM-e, the amino acid methionine, several hormones, neurotransmitters and DNA. TMG (trimethylglycine), otherwise known as betaine, is essentially the amino acid glycine bound to three methyl groups, one more than DMG.

DMG (dimethylglycine) in essence is the amino acid glycine attached to two methyl groups.

Glycine is a nonessential amino acid and is beneficial in creating muscle tissue and changing glucose into energy. It is also needed to maintain healthy central nervous and digestive systems.

Glycine helps prevent the breakdown of muscle by boosting the body’s levels of creatine, a compound that helps build muscle mass. High concentrations of glycine are found both in the muscles, and in the skin and other connective tissues as well. Almost one-third of collagen, responsible in keeping the skin and connective tissue firm and flexible, is made up of glycine.

Glycine helps supply the body with glucose needed for energy. For this reason, glycine is considered a glucogenic amino acid. It helps manage healthy and optimal blood sugar levels. Glycine is also essential for a healthy, normally functioning digestive system. It helps control the synthesis of the bile acid used to digest fats, and is included in many commercial gastric antacid agents.

Health Benefits of N,N-Dimethyl Glycine HCL

N,N dimethylglycine can boost the immune system, improve cellular oxygen utilization and act as an antioxidant by stimulating the proliferation of lymphocytes and boosting interferon production.

DMG significantly increases cellular oxygen utilization because it neutralizes lactic acid build-up in muscle tissues at a much faster rate following strenuous exercise and physical workouts.

As a methyl donor, DMG is needed in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, which in turn converts to SAM-e.

Purity and Concentration of N,N-Dimethyl Glycine HCL

This food-grade N,N dimethylglycine hydrochloride consists of very fine white granular crystals. It contains no fillers, taste additives or anti-caking agents.

Suggested Use of N,N-Dimethyl Glycine HCL

The suggested serving size for DMG is 500 milligrams taken one to three times daily, depending on individual needs. One level 1/8 teaspoon contains about 355 milligrams (mg). A serving of 1/16 tsp equals 178 milligrams, so 3/16 tsp equals 534 milligrams. You can see the full bulk density/volumetric conversion chart for N,N-Dimethyl Glycine HCL here.

Potential Side Effects of N,N-Dimethyl Glycine HCL

Dimethylglycine is safe at suggested serving sizes.

Bioavailability, Mixing and Solubility of N,N-Dimethyl Glycine HCL

This hydrochloride analog of DMG has a sour taste. Mix with juice or smoothies and drink. PureBulk also sells a more pleasant-tasting version of this product, Dimethyl Glycine Anhydrous (DMG), and Dimethyl Glycine HCL capsules (DMG).
