Nutri Partners offers high-purity Betaine Anhydrous powder wholesale, chemically known as Trimethylglycine (TMG). Originally discovered in sugar beets (Beta vulgaris), this compound acts as a vital methyl donor in the body and a potent osmolyte. Unlike Betaine HCL, which is used for digestion, our Betaine Anhydrous is designed for sports performance (hydration, power output) and cardiovascular health (homocysteine reduction), making it a staple ingredient in modern pre-workout and longevity formulas.
Key Features
- Purity: Assay min. 99% (Food Grade / Pharma Grade).
- Functionality: Acts as an osmolyte (protects cells against dehydration) and a methyl group donor.
- Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a clear, colorless solution.
- Sensory Profile: White crystalline powder with a neutral to slightly sweet taste (no acidity).
- Benefits: Clinically shown to improve power, endurance, and muscle protein synthesis.
Applications
Betaine Anhydrous is versatile across the functional nutrition sector:
- Sports Nutrition: A key ingredient in pre-workouts (often dosed at 2.5g) to boost muscle power, endurance, and hydration. It works synergistically with Creatine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine.
- Heart Health: Recognized for its ability to lower homocysteine levels, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
- Liver Support: Assists in the processing of fats in the liver (lipotropic effect).
- Animal Feed (Premium): (Note: We supply Food Grade) Widely used in premium aquafeed and livestock nutrition to improve stress tolerance and meat yield.
Technical Description: Betaine Anhydrous Powder Wholesale
When sourcing Betaine Anhydrous powder wholesale, the main technical challenge is Hygroscopicity.
TMG is extremely “water-loving.” If exposed to humid air, the crystals will absorb moisture and turn into a sticky liquid or hard block within hours.
- Handling: Must be handled in humidity-controlled rooms (<40% RH).
- Formulation: When blending with other hygroscopic ingredients (like Citrulline or Glycerol), use of anti-caking agents (Silica) is strongly recommended.
- Distinction: Do not confuse this with Betaine HCL.
Betaine Anhydrous: pH neutral (~5.0-7.0), sweet taste. Used for performance.
Betaine HCL: Acidic (pH ~1.0), sour taste. Used for stomach acid support.
