Researchers have found that the body maintains normal homocysteine levels when there are sufficient B vitamins, such as folic acid and vitamin B12 in the daily diet, as these vitamins are used in the biochemical pathways that break down homocysteine.
Trimethylglycine is a nutrient produced in the body that aids several chemical processes, such as decreasing homocysteine levels. TMG is a methyl donor, which means it carries methyl molecules from one place to another to help the body perform appropriately.
Some scientists believe that maintaining homocysteine within the normal range helps maintain a healthy heart and arteries.
