Dimethyl Glycine
(DMG)
Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a naturally occurring compound marketed as a dietary supplement for energy, immune function, and exercise performance, with limited human clinical evidence.
Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a derivative of the amino acid glycine, produced in small amounts in the human body and found in certain foods. It is promoted to support energy, immunity, cognitive function, and athletic performance, though robust clinical evidence is limited.
While DMG is widely marketed for several health benefits, available research in humans is scarce, with most effects observed in preliminary, small-scale, or animal studies.
Supports immune response (limited evidence)
LimitedPreliminary studies suggest that DMG supplementation may support aspects of immune function by enhancing antibody responses, particularly under physical stress, but robust evidence in humans is lacking.
May improve exercise performance (limited evidence)
LimitedSome animal studies and a few small human trials suggest DMG could aid oxygen utilization during exercise, though consistent, clinically meaningful benefits in athletes have not been confirmed.
Potential support for cognitive function (theoretical)
TheoreticalDMG was previously investigated as an adjunct in conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, but quality controlled studies have not established cognitive benefits.
Potential role in mitochondrial and liver health (theoretical)
TheoreticalDMG is involved in methylation and mitochondrial activity, and it is used for liver health in some contexts, but clinical trials are lacking.
