Overview
TMG-15 — not only a cardiovascular aid, this supplement fights aging and energizes your muscles.
TMG-15 (TriMethylGlycine) is one of the raw materials used by the body to convert the harmful amino acid homocysteine into
the useful amino acid cysteine.
Homocysteine — produced by the breakdown of protein during
normal metabolism and physical activity — is among the leading
causes of heart disease, blood clots, arterial plaque,
blood-vessel hardening, arterial blockages and strokes. More dangerous
than high cholesterol, elevated homocysteine levels correlate
with a 3.4 times greater risk of heart attack.
As many as twenty percent of people with heart disease have high homocysteine levels, as do many suffering from osteoporosis,
fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, and depression.
TMG-15 supplementation can accelerate the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine. But it has other applications, too:
- protecting DNA against damage
- reducing cancer risk
- preventing premature aging
- shielding the liver and kidneys against damage from toxic substances
- increases metabolism of fats
- raising the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the metabolic catalyst carnitine
- improving oxygen use and reducing lactic acid build-up during exercise
- increasing energy and stamina, while reducing fatigue.
LifeLink’s TMG-15 is derived from sugar beets and is
fortified with B-6, B-12, and folic acid to deliver maximum homocysteine
depletion. If you have heart disease or are at risk because of
your family history, if you suffer from auto-immune disorders
or are on a high-protein diet like the Atkins Diet, you really
need TMG-15. Even if you are otherwise healthy and not an athlete,
you still ought to protect your body from the ravages of
homocysteine.

The toxic
amino-acid homocysteine — produced by the breakdown of protein during
normal metabolism and physical activity, and by high-protein diets — is
among the leading causes of heart disease, blood clots, arterial
plaque, blood-vessel hardening, arterial blockages and strokes. More
dangerous than high cholesterol, homocysteine may explain why otherwise
healthy people unexpectedly drop dead from cardiovascular failures.
Elevated homocysteine levels correlate with a 3.4 times greater risk of
heart attack, and are linked with severe carotid-artery obstructions.
And it only gets worse!
As many as twenty percent of people with
heart disease have high homocysteine levels, as may those suffering
from osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, and
depression. Because homocysteine is transported throughout the body in
LDL or “bad” cholesterol, it might be the true cause of heart disease,
instead of the cholesterol itself. This theory explains why
cholesterol-lowering drugs do not always reduce the risk of heart
disease or stroke. Homocysteine levels are forty times more accurate
than cholesterol levels in predicting cardiovascular disease, and
research shows that keeping levels low — with supplements like
Lifelink’s TMG-15 — is crucial to good health.
But TMG-15 does far more than just detoxify
homocysteine. It protects DNA against damage, reduces the risk of
premature aging and cancer, shields the liver and kidneys against
damage from chemicals and toxins, increases fat and lipid metabolism,
and raises the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the
metabolic-catalyst carnitine. Athletes rely on it to improve oxygen use
and reduce lactic acid build-up, increasing energy and stamina, while
reducing fatigue. That’s quite a lot for one supplement to do!
TMG-15, or trimethylglycine, is so
beneficial because it supplies the body with plenty of methyl groups.
These molecules are crucial for creating vitamins, neurotransmitters,
enzymes, hormones, antibodies and DNA; simply put, without them, we’ll
die. Methyls also convert toxic homocysteine into SAMe, or
S-adenosylmethionine, a potent anti-inflammatory reducing pain and
arthritis symptoms, and elevating mood. Without adequate methyl sources
the body has trouble neutralizing homocysteine and building components
critical for life. That’s why supplementing with TMG-15 is so
important.
Derived from sugar beets, LifeLink’s TMG-15
is fortified with B-6, B-12, and folic acid to deliver maximum
homocysteine detoxification. If you have heart disease or are at risk
because of your family history, suffer from auto-immune disorders, or
are on a high-protein diet like Atkins, you really need TMG-15. Even if
you are otherwise healthy and not an athlete, you still need TMG-15
protecting your body from toxic homocysteine, 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
