Betaine

Betaine is a nutrient found in foods like beets, whole grains, and spinach. Its main function is to help the body maintain healthy levels of homocysteine, a substance that can damage blood vessels if elevated. Betaine also helps protect the liver by preventing fat accumulation and has also been linked to improvements in physical performance, such as increased muscle mass and reduced body fat. This is why it is a common ingredient in health and sports supplements.

Betaine contributes to the maintenance of normal levels of homocysteine, a substance that, in high amounts, can affect the health of blood vessels and alter the arterial lining.

Additionally, scientific studies have indicated that Betaine may be useful in supporting liver health by modulating fat accumulation in the liver.

In a study of professional soccer players, a 26%–40% reduction in inflammation was observed after 14 weeks of betaine supplementation. Betaine supplementation during six weeks of resistance training has also been shown to contribute to improved body composition, increasing muscle mass and reducing body fat.

The effectiveness of this product, designed by our Scientific Committee, is constantly measured by extensive diagnostic and analytical tests in the most prestigious Age Management clinics.

Each package contains100 capsules928 mg each, perfect to cover your needs

for more than three months.It is recommended to take

r one to two capsules daily with food.

When will I notice the benefits?

Betaine is water-soluble, meaning it dissolves in water, facilitating its absorption and excretion through urine if there is an excess. For this reason, it needs to be consumed regularly, as the body doesn't retain it for long and only takes what it needs.

Typically, within 3 to 8 weeks of regular consumption, you should notice an impact on homocysteine ​​regulation and liver function, depending on the individual.Improvement in physical performance is usually noticeable after 8 weeks of continued consumption depending on each person.
