Overview

Dimethylglycine (DMG) is an amino acid, a building block for protein. The body needs dimethylglycine to function.

Dimethylglycine is an essential amino acid, which means that the body cannot make this chemical on its own. It must be consumed in the diet. It is found in grains and meats and can also be taken as a supplement.

People use dimethylglycine for aging, athletic performance, memory and thinking skills (cognitive function), and many other purposes, but there is no scientific evidence to support its use.
