It has been used as a nutritional supplement for over 25 years for various areas of nutritional support. It is a water soluble nutrient and has an excellent safety profile.*
Uses For DMG
- Neurotransmitter Function: One of its main roles involves promoting healthy neurotransmitter function. Studies involving adult subjects have suggested that DMG may support the central nervous system glycine receptor or maintain healthy amino acid balance within the central nervous system. Positive support regarding the use of DMG in children's behavior has been collected for more than twenty years, as reported by one research institution. As early as 1965, Russian scientists discovered the potential for DMG to support healthy mental function in some children. At one research center in Korea, DMG provided encouraging support for children involved in a small trial.*
- Other Potential Areas Of Support: DMG is believed to promote oxygenation of tissues and serve as a methyl donor, promoting healthy cardiovascular function. These same mechanisms may also allow DMG to support healthy liver function and detoxification processes. DMG has also been used to support physical performance and moderate fatigue associated with physical activity*
