Betaine, also called folic acid amine, chemically known as 4-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide methanesulfonate, is a water-soluble member of the B vitamin family. Betaine is widely found in green plants, with leafy green vegetables like spinach, asparagus and lettuce containing high levels of betaine. In addition, small amounts of betaine are also synthesised in animal liver, yeast and microorganisms in the human intestine.
Betaine has a variety of important physiological roles, mainly including:
1. involvement in single-carbon metabolic reactions, maintaining DNA synthesis and repair;
2. participating in metabolic pathways such as purines, pyrimidines, amino acids, glucose and fatty acids
3. promoting red blood cell production and preventing megaloblastic anaemia
4. lowering homocysteine levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer
5. Promote nerve cell development and maintain normal nervous system function.
The main uses of betaine include
1. Pharmaceutical field: Betaine is one of the B vitamins and can be used as a drug to treat diseases such as megaloblastic anaemia, neurological disorders and liver disease.
2. Health care products: Betaine can supplement and promote vitamin B9 needed by the human body, prevent megaloblastic anaemia, vascular ageing, etc.
3. Food additive: Betaine can be used as a dietary nutrient enhancer in food processing and is approved by many countries' food standards and regulations.
In conclusion, betaine is a very important vitamin for the maintenance of normal physiological functions and the prevention of diseases in the human body, and has a wide range of application prospects.
