If you're not supplementing with Betaine (TMG), it may be time to start.

[DamonX]

So 2.5g daily but split into 1.25g doses?

[aristotleox]

Is it recommended to take TMG split up throughout the day or is it ok to take all at once? I was considering taking 3g pre-workout.

[Nyrin]

I've just been throwing a ~3g scoop of it in with a ~3g scoop of creatine and some beta alanine as a daily maintenance supplement. I can't imagine splitting the dose is that important... right?

[NewAgeMayan]

The study Im most familiar with involved split doses, but I think most regular users who split do so largely to avoid GI issues.

I believe 1.25 before and 1.25 after workout.

Our new product Platinum 100% Betaine is not on the first post list because it was not out when this thread was created but its literally the same dosing followed in most studies. (1.3g per serving)

That's just fine. I've been taking 2.5-3g in one dose and never had any issues.

As far as I know it is alright to take it all at once

[eatyourspinach]

I've been taking 2.5g with Green Mag pre workout for what it's worth, nothing catastrophic to report.

Figured this badboy could use a bump. One of CJ's better posts.

Did you bump this to pimp product? lol

On a side note, thanks for making me aware. Pretty solid product at that price

So I finally did a bit of reading through this thread and have turned around on my opinion of Betaine - my former pinion being partially formed by the info presented by Examine.com which was commented on 1 page previous. It seems like a very solid and cost effective supplement. That said I was wondering if someone could address something for me:
I have looked into MT Betaine and while it is far from expensive, I have found it online in bulk for less the half the price. The major difference is the lack of nitrates in the bulk powder. I have never used nitrates before (that I am aware of) and I was wondering if the amount provided in MT Betaine is enough to make a real benefit. Is the addition of the added nitrates worth the added cost?

Nope, Bumped it because i think it's an excellent thread and not many people know.
I plugged a product because it was not out at the current time of the thread creation and it's by far now one of the best in the category.

The recommended dosing is kind of stupid. Be better to take like 4-5 with vitamin C and NAC preworkout since it contains nitrates rather than split up throughout the dsy

I didn't read through the entire thread but where can I get a Betaine supplement by itself? Is it available?

Yes, Livelong nutrition, SNS, Komodo have powder, NOW and Muscletech have caps.

[UOFLcards2011]

How are the MuscleTech caps? They have good reviews in the store.

They are Betaine Nitrate, so you get the benefits of betaine as described in this thread and potentially the benefits of nitrates http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4008816/. Depends on how high you want to dose betaine in order to determine how cost efficient it is.

You won't beat them with most other products.
They provide a slight pump also, So stacked with something as simple as caffeine is enough for a pre-workout.

I take all 4 caps pre-workout.

[Blacklac]

FWIW, I took 6-6.5g at once, preworkout, with no issues. All just from stacking STIMino, Green Mag and White Pump. I did have a bowl of cereal near dosing.

I've done 3g am and 3g PWO for a few weeks before dialing it back just to 3g PWO and never had any stomach issues.

I used bulk, not betaine nitrate though..

[emergency]

we do have a review promo going for the Platinum Betaine in the company promo section drop by and check it out.

[UOFLcards2011]

With the MuscleTech caps do u take these on rest days too? 4/daily even on rest days?

[msi4mahesh]

Can I take 2 pills of MuscleTech Betaine along with Hemo Rage 30 mins prior to working out?
