Pure Betaine Powder

Detailed Introduction Of Betaine

Pure Betaine Powder (chemical name: N,N,N-trimethylglycine, molecular formula C₅H₁₁NO₂) is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium alkaloid with a structure similar to amino acids and stable and non-toxic properties.

1. Source and distribution

• Plant source: It was first discovered in beets in the 19th century. In addition, it is found in high concentrations in wolfberries, legumes, wheat bran, wheat germ, spinach, etc.
• Animal source: It exists in mollusks such as octopus, cuttlefish, shrimp, and the liver, spleen and amniotic fluid of vertebrates (including humans).
• Other sources: Microorganisms and aquatic invertebrates also contain betaine.

2. Synthesis and metabolism

• Endogenous synthesis: It can be produced in mitochondria through choline metabolism.
• Exogenous intake: Supplemented through diet.

3. Main physiological functions

• Osmoregulation: As one of the main osmolytes, it maintains cell osmotic pressure, stabilizes protein structure, and protects cells from high osmotic pressure damage.
• Cell protection: maintain cell morphology and enhance cell tolerance in hypertonic environment.
• Methyl donor: participate in methylation reaction and affect metabolic process.

What are the benefits?

Health Benefits
Reducing Homocysteine ​​& Protecting the Liver

• Effectively reduce hyperhomocysteinemia and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Reduce liver malondialdehyde (MDA) content (lipid peroxidation marker), increase superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, enhance antioxidant capacity, and protect liver health.

Regulate blood pressure & improve blood circulation

• Promote the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells, help dilate blood vessels, and thus assist in lowering blood pressure.
• Inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce the risk of thrombosis.

Anti-inflammatory & cardiovascular protection

• Inhibit endothelial inflammatory response and improve vascular health.

Application in cosmetics
Excellent moisturizing performance

• Unlike glycerol, which fixes water molecules, betaine allows water molecules to be completely absorbed and utilized by living cells, and can provide long-term moisturizing even at low concentrations.

Cell protection effect

• Prevent cell water loss, maintain cell osmotic balance, and reduce apoptosis in a high osmotic pressure environment (such as ultraviolet rays and dryness).

Soothing and anti-allergic

• In shampoo: reduce the irritation of surfactants to the scalp, relieve scalp itching and dryness.
• In fruit acid skin care products: neutralize acidic ingredients (such as low pH fruit acids), reduce skin irritation, and reduce allergic reactions.

Discovery and Application of Betaine
Betaine was first discovered in Europe in the 19th century. It was originally used in the sugar industry like sugarcane. It was mainly extracted from beet sugar molasses, hence the name. However, its biological activity was not gradually recognized by the scientific community until the 1970s.

As a naturally occurring compound, betaine is widely distributed in animals and plants. It is an important intermediate product of animal metabolism and participates in the metabolic process of various nutrients. In plants, it is an osmotic regulating substance that can help plants resist adverse stresses such as salinity and drought and improve stress resistance.

In addition, betaine also has the characteristics of mild cleansing. It can effectively clean the skin without causing irritation. Therefore, it is widely used in personal care products such as cleansing products and shampoos, becoming one of the safe and efficient ingredients in modern skin care products.
