Line 53: Line 53:
## '''Osmoprotection''': TMG functions as an osmolyte, meaning it helps regulate cellular hydration. This can be particularly beneficial in conditions of cellular stress, helping cells maintain their volume and function.

# '''Support in Metabolic Processes''':
# Support in Metabolic Processes:
## '''Methyl Donation''': As a significant source of methyl groups, TMG can support various metabolic processes in the body that require methylation. This includes the synthesis of certain neurotransmitters, DNA methylation, and other essential reactions.
