I wanted to run a theory by you guys and get your sense of it. I typically take Betaine HCL (TMG) for digestion but was a bit concerned after @haidut said that it raises methionine and not a good idea. After looking into it I found that it does increase it but does so by converting homocystene to methionine. Since homocystene is much more toxic than methionine, maybe the increase in methionine is still a step in the right direction. Similarly maybe excess methionine is bad because it shifts the reaction back to more homocystene.
So my question is whether or not Betaine HCL is a good thing to take. Does this make sense?
