Wheat bran is the main dietary sLife Extension'sce of TMG, with smaller amounts available in other cereal grains.\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e TMG can also be made in the body from choline, an essential nutrient found in eggs, soybeans and many other foods.\u003csup\u003e2,3\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTMG was found to be beneficial to heart health in the 1950s.\u003csup\u003e4-6\u003c\/sup\u003e Like some of the B vitamins (B6, B12 and folate), TMG is a methyl donor, providing extra methyl groups to hasten the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine. When a TMG methyl group is donated to a molecule of homocysteine, it converts it to the non-toxic amino acid, methionine.\u003csup\u003e7\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe role of TMG in healthy homocysteine metabolism is even more important when B vitamin levels are low.\u003csup\u003e8\u003c\/sup\u003e Some evidence suggests TMG may be more efficient at regulating homocysteine levels than folate. \u003csup\u003e9\u003c\/sup\u003e Research showing TMG's ability to promote healthy levels of homocysteine already within normal range, alone or in conjunction with other nutrients, confirms its status as an important nutrient for cardiovascular and overall health.\u003csup\u003e7,9\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTMG has been associated with healthy blood pressure and mitochondrial function, and has been found to be linked to cardiovascular health.\u003csup\u003e2,10-12\u003c\/sup\u003e TMG has also been found to promote healthy liver function.\u003csup\u003e13\u003c\/sup\u003e Studies show TMG can support a healthy inflammatory response by inhibiting expression of NFkappaB, TNF-alpha, and other inflammatory proteins, which may partially explain its positive impacts.\u003csup\u003e14\u003c\/sup\u003e Because intestinal microbes can make various by-products from TMG, the health of the gut microbiome influences the effects of TMG in the body.\u003csup\u003e15,16\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Usage\u003c\/h2\u003eTake one (1) rounded scoop one to two times daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
