Betaine (specifically Betaine Anhydrous or Trimethylglycine / TMG) is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative found in many plants, animals, and microorganisms, with particularly high concentrations in sugar beets. Its chemical formula is C₅H₁₁NO₂, and its CAS number is 107-43-7.

It appears as a white, crystalline, highly hygroscopic powder with a neutral to slightly sweet taste. It serves as a vital osmolyte and methyl donor in biological systems.

Applications

1. Dietary Supplements and Sports Nutrition

Cardiovascular Health: As a methyl donor, it helps lower blood levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

Exercise Performance: It is a popular ingredient in pre-workout supplements. Clinical studies show it supports power output, muscular endurance, and lean muscle mass composition by promoting protein synthesis and cellular hydration.

2. Cosmetics and Personal Care

Skin Conditioning & Hydration: Commonly listed as "Betaine" or "Trimethylglycine" in skincare products, it works as a gentle, high-performance moisturizer. Unlike traditional humectants, it manages water balance inside skin cells to strengthen the skin barrier.

Irritation Mitigation: It reduces the skin irritation and stickiness often caused by surfactants in shampoos, facial cleansers, and body washes, enhancing foam quality and skin feel.

3. Animal Feed and Agriculture

Nutritional Feed Additive: Extensively used in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feeds. It reduces mortality rates caused by heat stress, improves carcass lean meat percentage, and acts as a powerful feeding attractant for fish and shrimp.

4. Pharmaceuticals

Homocystinuria Treatment: Under prescription names like Cystadane, FDA-approved betaine anhydrous is used to treat homocystinuria, a rare genetic disorder where the body cannot properly metabolize certain amino acids.

Made of pure aluminum composite material, with high barrier properties, effectively isolating it from air, moisture, and light.
Completely moisture-proof, oxidation-resistant, and anti-caking, ensuring long-term preservation of powder purity.
Individually sealed and packaged; sizes can be customized in 1kg/5kg/10kg/25kg bags.
Neutral, unlabeled packaging and printing of customer logos and product information are also supported.

The independent and professional raw material storage workshop is kept at a constant temperature, dry and protected from light throughout, with ventilation, moisture control, and humidity prevention to prevent powder from absorbing moisture, clumping, deterioration, and oxidation. The workshop features zoned shelving for vertical storage, with cartons and drums stacked in separate zones to keep goods off the ground and away from moisture, acids, alkalis, odors, and sources of pollution.
