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.
