DMG The underlying basis for DMG's purported therapeutic effects stems mainly from its ability to function as a methyl donor - it releases a methyl group during its metabolism and this is "donated" to the SAMe (S-Adenosylmethionine) cycle. Some of the effects of DMG originate from its conversion to Glycine within the body.

DMG may alleviate the Pain associated with Angina. DMG may reduce the incidence of Arrhythmias. DMG may improve Blood Circulation where insufficiency exists. DMG may lower elevated Blood Pressure in Hypertension patients. DMG (100 - 200 mg per day) may permit Ischemic Heart Disease patients to increase their Exercise capabilities.

DMG may chelate (bind) with many Toxic Minerals and facilitate their excretion.

DMG may improve the response of the Immune System by between 400% and 1,000%. DMG has been speculated to protect against the onset of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and may increase the life span of AIDS patients. DMG (125 mg per day) may increase the production of Antibodies in response to some Antigens.

DMG may help to prevent several forms of Cancer (due to Immune System stimulation):

DMG may help to protect against Melanoma (form of Skin Cancer).

DMG may help to prevent Influenza. DMG (125 mg per day) may increase the production of Lymphocytes in response to Antigens.

DMG may improve Athletic Performance. DMG may lower total serum Cholesterol levels (by inhibiting Enzymes involved in the endogenous synthesis of Cholesterol): DMG may increase HDL Cholesterol levels.

DMG may enhance the production of Energy. DMG may improve endurance and strength and may reduce Fatigue after Exercise (by improving the body's utilization of Oxygen and reducing the production of Lactic Acid). DMG may increase Stamina.

DMG may alleviate the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

DMG may improve the condition of Autism patients. DMG may improve the behavior and Mental Function of children afflicted with Down's Syndrome (this improvement may be due to DMG functioning as a Methyl Donor in the SAMe Cycle). DMG (200 mg per day) may reduce the frequency of seizures in Epilepsy patients.

DMG may alleviate some cases of Vaginitis.

DMG may facilitate the delivery of Oxygen to the body's tissues.

A daily dosage of 125 mg of DMG is sufficient to improve certain aspects of the Immune System.
