Dimethylglycine ( DMG )

Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a derivative of glycine, the simplest of the amino acids. Dimethylglycine is also known as vitamin B15 and pangamic acid, although, technically, DMG is not really a vitamin. There are no known symptoms of deficiency. It acts as a building block for many important substances, including the amino acid methionine, choline, a number of important hormones and neurotransmitters, and DNA.

Low levels of DMG are present in meats, seeds, and grains. No deficiency symptoms are associated with a lack of DMG in the diet, but taking supplemental DMG can have a wide range of beneficial effects, including helping the body maintain high energy levels and boosting mental acuity. DMG has been found to enhance the immune system and to reduce elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It improves oxygen utilization by the body, helps to normalize blood pressure and blood glucose levels, and improves the functioning of many important organs. It may also be useful for controlling epileptic seizures.
