| Introduction | Betaine hydrochloride is an acidic form of betaine, which is found in cereals and certain foods similar to vitamins. Doctors generally recommend supplementation for those with a deficiency of stomach acid. |
| Source | is most abundant in fish, legumes and beets. Betaine citric acid and aspartic acid betaine are in the form of betaine products and are mainly used to improve liver function. |
| Functional Role | Betaine functions closely with folic acid, vitamin B12, S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and choline, each of these compounds has a "methyl-donor" role, providing methyl groups to participate in biochemical reactions necessary for the human body. Betaine methyl groups are important for liver function, cell replication and detoxification reactions. Betaine is also involved in the synthesis of carnitine in vivo and protects the kidneys from damage. |
| Drug interactions | Betaine hydrochloride should not be taken by people taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cortisone-like drugs, in order to avoid gastric ulcer. Betaine hydrochloride promotes the absorption of minerals and certain nutrients. |
| Use | Betaine hydrochloride is an efficient methyl donor, which can partially replace methionine and choline chloride and reduce feed cost. The methyl supply efficiency of betaine hydrochloride is 50% times that of 1.8 choline chloride and 2.6 times that of methionine. The combination of Anticoccidial drugs and Betaine hydrochloride can buffer the change of ion balance, so as to improve the nutrient absorption rate and promote the growth of poultry. In the premix and concentrate, betaine hydrochloride can protect the stability of VA and VB, and improve the use effect. An amphoteric surfactant. Used as food and feed additives, pharmaceutical grade for gastrointestinal function regulator organic synthesis. Welding. Resin treatment. A feed additive that is beneficial to the growth of animals. |
| Application | betaine, belonging to quaternary ammonium alkaloids, is a new type of fine chemicals, can be widely used in food, medicine, daily Chemical, printing and dyeing, chemical and other fields. Betaine hydrochloride, is an efficient, high quality, economic, widely used in livestock, poultry, aquaculture, feeding induction and other nutritional additives. |
