Betaine chloride
Betaine chloride (CAS: 590-46-5), commonly known as betaine hydrochloride, is the hydrochloride salt of trimethylglycine, a naturally occurring methylated amino acid derivative found in sugar beets and other plants. This white crystalline compound combines the biological functions of betaine with the gastric acid-supporting properties of hydrochloride, making it a dual-purpose ingredient in nutritional supplements and animal feed. As a methyl donor, betaine supports homocysteine metabolism, liver function, and cellular osmoregulation, while the hydrochloride form aids digestion by supplementing stomach acid in individuals with low gastric acidity. In animal nutrition, it improves feed efficiency, supports liver health, and acts as an osmoprotectant under heat stress. The food and pharmaceutical grades are produced under strict quality standards ensuring high purity and consistent performance. With its well-established safety profile and versatile physiological functions, betaine chloride serves human nutrition, animal feed, and personal care markets.
– Dietary Supplements: Used as a methyl donor to support liver function, healthy homocysteine levels, and cellular hydration in sports nutrition and wellness formulations.
– Digestive Health: Employed as a stomach acid supplement to support digestion and nutrient absorption in individuals with reduced gastric acid production.
– Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated into poultry, swine, and aquaculture feeds to improve growth performance, feed conversion, and resilience under heat stress.
– Personal Care Formulations: Applied as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic products for its moisture-retention and mild surfactant properties.
