animal protein feed grade Betaine HCl 98% in poultry nutrition

Betaine is gotten rid of by metabolic process, not excretion, and catabolised via a series of enzyme responses (transmethylation) that happen in the mitochondria of liver and kidney cells. The primary physiologic role of betaine is to act as an osmolyte and as methyl donor (transmethylation). As an osmolyte (dipolar zwitterion characteristics), betaine increases intracellular water retention and therefore protects intracellular enzymes against osmotic caused inactivation. As a methyl donor, betaine takes part in the methionine cycle (generally in the liver) and can be even more utilized in transmethylation reactions for synthesis of vital substances like carnitine and creatine (Figure 1). Betaine had shown to also collect in other internal organs (gut, liver, kidney and heart) to safeguard them and enhance efficiency in human professional athletes.
