Good betaine anhydrous?

[hamdysayed]

Really? Pure, anhydrous TMG should be odorless or near-odorless and have a mildly sweet taste. It's often extracted from sugar beets, after all. Maybe TMG HCl is different, but that doesn't have all the benefits we want anyhow.

i bought the betaine anhydrous komodo, it have the sweet taste just smells but value make me no care lol.

[ajvitan]

Komodo?

Finaflex?

Komodo. 3 grams per scoop supplying 100 servings per tub.

This. Komodo 300g TMG and BA great deals

Komodo 300 grams that's what I'm using now value is great, I prefer the now tabs because that stuff smells betaine smells like a$$.
And the pills will look like a dried up soap bar after you open the bottle.

Thanks for the Komodo mentions. Our bulk powder is a very good value.

I also use Green Mag to my prewo cocktail and add in just a bit of extra bulk TMG.

As a rep you should not be recommending products not sold on bb.com
When there are plenty of other companies sold on bb.com that sell that ingredient

Never recommended it. Simply stated what product I use.

He is neither a rep for komodo nor did he tell people to go looking for it. He stated what product he uses. Is that okay with you?

As far as I know, betaine anhydrous will slowly react with oxygen and nitrogen gas to form trimethylamine, which definitely does smell.

OP, every brand BB does business with is very much trustworthy. The LiveLong product is a great option.

Oh it smells. Tried numerous bulk suppliers and had testing done. Betaine has a slight fishy smell

All this time I made fun of that girl in highschool and come to find out she was taking betaine.... I feel terrible now

[hiimnotcool]

lol i remember opening up a bag of bulk tmg about a month ago and thought 'what in the heck is that smell?'...tasted it and it was definitely sweet though. anyways, i took 2 grams of it and gave myself a bad panic attack because i started second guessing if the smell was normal and maybe i'd been poisoned....kinda humorous now. i still havent used it again since that day....500 grams of pure tmg powder sitting in my cupboard probably feeling lonely...maybe i'll add it to my Katana tomorrow and see how it goes.

ive taken tmg through other sources (green mag, white flood reborn, etc) and it's never had that smell so i wasn't expecting it with the pure powder i guess.

Smells fishy but tastes sweet. hmmmmm I don't know if I'd go for anything other than TMG with that descritpion.

Sorry to bump my own thread - I received my betaine today (went with LiveLong) and it says 1 gram per day. I've searched and found everything from 1.5 to 3 grams and everything in between as advice to take. So, how much should I take? Do I split the doses or take it all pre-workout?

I believe all the study done that is most referenced on this forum used 2.5g daily, split into 2 doses - mostly because some people have stomach reactions to taking it in a bolus. Though I recall it being stated that the person performing the study said there were likely benefits of going above 2.5g daily, but that has not been studied up until this point.

I'll just start w/ 2.5 and go from there. Thank you!

That's a good start. And split them at first unless you think your stomach can handle ot

Haha, I just tried it all at once... we'll find out! Hopefully I'm not running to the toilet in the middle of my lifts.

Man... this stuff really does smell fishy. Crazy.

It happened to me, had to leave mid workout but when I split the dosage I was completely fine

Have you tried it all at once since you've been using it for awhile? I'm wondering if it's one of those things that goes away once your saturated (like dem BA tingles)...on that note, do you become saturated with Betaine like you do with BA and Creatine?

I like MT platinum betaine bc of the addition of nitrates.

Yeah it seems to very popular because of that, but if you already take a PWO with nitrates (I finally got my Max Out for example), it's probably not the best idea to mix them. I guess you could time the Betaine away from your PWO but I've heard on training days you want it before you train.
