The toxic amino-acid homocysteine — produced by the breakdown of protein during normal metabolism and physical activity, and by high-protein diets — is among the leading causes of heart disease, blood clots, arterial plaque, blood-vessel hardening, arterial blockages and strokes. More dangerous than high cholesterol, homocysteine may explain why otherwise healthy people unexpectedly drop dead from cardiovascular failures. Elevated homocysteine levels correlate with a 3.4 times greater risk of heart attack, and are linked with severe carotid-artery obstructions. And it only gets worse!

As many as twenty percent of people with heart disease have high homocysteine levels, as may those suffering from osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, and depression. Because homocysteine is transported throughout the body in LDL or “bad” cholesterol, it might be the true cause of heart disease, instead of the cholesterol itself. This theory explains why cholesterol-lowering drugs do not always reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke. Homocysteine levels are forty times more accurate than cholesterol levels in predicting cardiovascular disease, and research shows that keeping levels low — with supplements like Lifelink’s TMG-15 — is crucial to good health.

But TMG-15 does far more than just detoxify homocysteine. It protects DNA against damage, reduces the risk of premature aging and cancer, shields the liver and kidneys against damage from chemicals and toxins, increases fat and lipid metabolism, and raises the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the metabolic-catalyst carnitine. Athletes rely on it to improve oxygen use and reduce lactic acid build-up, increasing energy and stamina, while reducing fatigue. That’s quite a lot for one supplement to do!

TMG-15, or trimethylglycine, is so beneficial because it supplies the body with plenty of methyl groups. These molecules are crucial for creating vitamins, neurotransmitters, enzymes, hormones, antibodies and DNA; simply put, without them, we’ll die. Methyls also convert toxic homocysteine into SAMe, or S-adenosylmethionine, a potent anti-inflammatory reducing pain and arthritis symptoms, and elevating mood. Without adequate methyl sources the body has trouble neutralizing homocysteine and building components critical for life. That’s why supplementing with TMG-15 is so important.

Derived from sugar beets, LifeLink’s TMG-15 is fortified with B-6, B-12, and folic acid to deliver maximum homocysteine detoxification. If you have heart disease or are at risk because of your family history, suffer from auto-immune disorders, or are on a high-protein diet like Atkins, you really need TMG-15. Even if you are otherwise healthy and not an athlete, you still need TMG-15 protecting your body from toxic homocysteine, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
