Betaine is an amino acid that your body naturally produces. It’s found in some common foods, like beets, spinach, shellfish, and whole grains, such as wheat bran and wheat germ. Betaine helps to stabilize proteins, enzymes, and cells, protecting them from stress associated with fluid shifts. Another of the main benefits of betaine is helping your body eliminate a toxic amino acid called homocysteine.
