Introduction

This video discusses the effects of trimethylglycine (TMG) supplementation on fat accumulation. The speaker presents findings from both mouse and human studies indicating that TMG may prevent the formation of white adipose tissue (fat), improve insulin sensitivity, and increase mitochondrial biogenesis, leading to enhanced fat burning.

Key Takeaways

• TMG and Fat Blockage: Studies show TMG supplementation prevents the formation of white adipose tissue in mice, even on high-fat diets. This effect was observed even when mice were actively trying to get obese.
• Mitochondrial Biogenesis: TMG supplementation increased mitochondrial biogenesis in mice, leading to more sites for fat burning.
• Improved Insulin Sensitivity: The mouse study also showed improved insulin sensitivity despite overfeeding with saturated fat.
• Human Studies: Human studies, through systematic review and meta-analysis, confirmed TMG reduces total fat mass and body fat percentage while maintaining or increasing lean body mass.
• Mechanisms: TMG may work by increasing the amount of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT1), which transports fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidation. TMG also shows links to increased muscle growth.
