What does it do?

Betaine is an amino acid derivative found in nature, used in pharmaceuticals for the purpose of improving liver function. It primarily contributes to maintaining liver health by supporting the metabolic activities of liver cells.

Betaine acts as a methyl group donor within liver cells, promoting fat metabolism and reducing liver cell damage, thereby improving liver function. This enhances the liver's detoxification and regeneration capabilities.
