Description
What is Vetri-DMG? Vetri-DMG is a liquid supplement that strengthens your pet's immune system. It has many other benefits that make it easier for your dog or cat to stay active and free from viruses and other dangerous foreign 'invaders'. Vetri DMG liquid is an easy to use immune support supplement for cats and dogs. Dmg a/K/a N, N-Dimethylglycine is an adaptive. An adaptive allows an already functioning process to function more efficiently, even in times of stress. It does this by helping the body absorb nutrients more efficiently at the cellular level. I read online that you can give dogs cranberry supplements to help with urinary tract infections and bladder stones. My dog is on prescription diet food because she had struvite crystals in her urine 6 months ago. I would like to switch her food to a healthier option like Blue or Wellness, but it was suggested that I use some sort of cranberry powder or pills to help with the acidity of her urine.
Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a versatile, health-building, anti-aging and healing nutrient derived from the amino acid Glycine. It is very important for optimal health and is produced by all animals and humans in small amounts. Our bodies use DMG every moment of every day to affect nearly every metabolic pathway in the body. It’s a building block for the synthesis of methionine, choline, important hormones, neurotransmitters and DNA. Dimethylglycine is found in certain foods such as beans, pumpkin seeds and liver; however, nearly everyone can benefit from supplementing their diet with higher levels of DMG.
Feel Young Again, Age Gracefully
Dimethylglycine is known as one of the most effective anti-aging nutrient in the world. DMG helps you to feel young, vital, healthy and strong well into old age. It boosts strength, endurance and stamina by dramatically improving the nutritional environment of the cells. This in turn causes the tissues and organs of the body to function more efficiently and with more youthful vitality, no matter how old you are.
Aging decreases immunity, but dimethylglycine helps enhance immunity to slow the aging process. DMG helps us to age more gracefully. As we get older, free radicals and stress damage one’s ability to maintain immune system function, memory and physical ability. DMG helps us cope with stress, increases tolerance to physical activity and helps us fight fatigue as well as improving stamina, sexual function, athletic ability and mental acuity.
In her best selling book, Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness, actress and best-selling author Suzanne Somers calls DMG a critical nutritional supplement. She is well into her 60s and is still radiant and stunningly beautiful. Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D., bestselling author of Mind Boosters: Improve Your Mind, Memory, and Mood wrote, “If you find the field of mind-boosting pills, sex nutrients, and anti-aging interesting, you will certainly want to learn more about DMG (dimethylglycine).” He’s among many medical professionals that acknowledge the very pronounced benefits of dimethylglycine, such as increased energy, an overall feeling of well-being, faster thinking, enhanced memory and particularly greater stamina throughout the day. In other words, you don’t burn out as easily in the course of a normal day.
Numerous Health Benefits from Taking DMG
The health benefits from supplementing with DMG are significant. Dimethylglycine greatly improves the nutritional environment of the cell, increases immune system function (between up to 300% and 1000%) and improves oxygen utilization which enhances energy levels in the body. It helps to optimize mental activity and brain function and supports the body in counteracting the negative effects of mental and physical stress. DMG is one of the best anti-aging nutrients on the market.
Dimethylglycine is a major anti-stress nutrient, energy builder and adaptogen that benefits your metabolism, health and well-being. The average person has fatigue issues, injuries, gets sick and is generally stressed out. When the body is under conditions of stress, DMG improves oxygen utilization in the body and enhances cellular metabolism. Studies show that DMG supplementation helps both humans and animals adapt to increased physical activity by reducing blood lactic acid levels, increasing oxygen uptake by tissues, enhancing ATP production, normalizing glucose metabolism and decreasing fatigue. DMG reduces lactic acid build up in the muscle thereby shortening recovery time after strenuous exercise and improving endurance. Dimethylglycine:
- Helps stimulate and maintain a strong immune system
- Improves metabolism
- Optimizes energy levels
- Makes energy production more efficient
- Reduces lactic acid formation
- Minimizes cravings for alcohol and drugs
- Enhances detoxification of the blood and the liver
- Increases oxygen utilization
- Enhances methyl donation
- Acts as an adaptogen
- Enhances neurotransmitter production
- Improves circulation
- Helps the body adapt to stress
- Decreases homocysteine levels
- Increases glutathione and SAMe levels
- Decreases elevated blood pressure, triglyceride and cholesterol levels
- Acts as an antioxidant
- Promotes the neutralization of free radicals
- Has anti-inflammatory properties
- Provides building blocks needed for synthesis of important body constituents
- Supports lymphocyte production
In the nation’s #1 bestselling guide to natural remedies, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, authors James Balch, M.D., and Phyllis Balch, C.N.C. recommend using DMG for 48 condition-specific uses. DMG is useful in so many conditions in part because it is a metabolic enhancer. As Dr. Balch writes, “Taking supplemental DMG can have a wide range of beneficial effects, including helping the body maintain high energy levels and boosting mental acuity. DMG has been found to enhance the immune system, and to reduce elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It improves oxygen utilization by the body, helps to normalize blood pressure and blood glucose levels, and improves the functioning of many important organs.”
How Does Dimethylglycine Work in the Body?
Dimethylglycine is an important methyl donor that participates in numerous biochemical pathways and is important for glutathione synthesis. It’s able to donate a methyl towards necessary enzymatic reactions. This ability to donate one of its methyls is very crucial in the synthesis and production of important brain chemicals. Sufficient levels of glycine in the body are responsible for a general overall feeling of health or well being.
A methyl donor is simply any substance that can transfer a methyl group [a carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms (CH3)] to another substance. Methylation is a biochemical process that is essential to life, health and regeneration of body cells. Vitamins, hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and antibodies depend on the transfer of methyl groups to complete their synthesis. Scientists suspect that proper methylation of DNA may prevent the expression of harmful genes, such as cancer genes. Our body’s ability to methylate declines with age, contributing to the aging process, and therefore supplementation can be beneficial.
The versatility of Dimethylglycine to donate methyl groups and generate molecules like glycine, serine, sarcosine, ethanolamines, methionine and cysteine, as well as contributing to the formation of SAMe, may explain why DMG has such broad and wide-reaching therapeutic effects on the body. Some of those therapeutic effects include enhancing energy production, increasing circulation, decreasing seizure activity, reducing lactic acid levels, promoting better oxygen utilization, lowering homocysteine and many other beneficial effects.
Is DMG New?
Dimethylglycine in supplement form has been around for over 40 years with numerous clinical studies to prove its benefits and safety. DMG was first discovered by Russian scientists who were looking for a solution to the problem of accelerated aging in cosmonauts in space. Through performing hundreds of research studies, they found that returning cosmonauts who used DMG showed no symptoms of cellular damage or premature aging that the other cosmonauts all displayed.
Originally called “vitamin B-15” or “calcium pangamate” in the 1960’s and 1970’s, dimethylglycine has been cherished by top athletes and sports professionals for its ability to enhance performance and increase endurance. Olympic greats, world-champion body-builders, Super Bowl champions and the heavyweight champion of the world have all attributed their success in part to supplementing with DMG.
Aging and over-the-hill athletes notice especially good results from taking DMG. During an internationally televised interview with Muhammad Ali in 1976, the boxing champ held up a bottle of “B-15” (DMG) to show the world his “secret weapon.” As reported in the National Medical Bulletin in 1978, Ali took DMG during his many consecutive victories, and then when he stopped taking it, he was defeated by a newcomer. Once he began taking DMG again, he beat that same newcomer in a rematch in 1978.
Is DMG Safe?
Dimethylglycine has a long history of safe use by humans and is an intricate part of human metabolism. DMG is absolutely required by the human body to function optimally. DMG is hypoallergenic and is an extremely safe food substance that can enhance normal metabolic pathways in the body. It is safe for use in children of all ages. Doctors have been recommending DMG for autistic children since 1980.
Extensive animal studies on the safety of dimethylglycine showed that it is actually as safe as vitamin C. It is literally impossible to overdose. DMG actually has protective abilities against mutagens and carcinogens that may be in our food, water and the air we breathe.
Paul Buck, Ph. D., nutritional biochemist at an FDA approved laboratory in Waverly, NY, is quoted to have said that “the average person would have to ingest 21 pounds or more of DMG in a short amount of time for it to be toxic, and at that point it would be a problem more with the volume than with the actual toxicity of the DMG.”
Dr. Gary Todd, M.D., describes DMG safety in his book entitled Nutrition, Health and Disease on page 206. Dr. Todd summarizes the extreme safety of DMG with this illustration: “the average DMG tablet is 125 mg, so you would have to take 4,144 tablets in a single dose to achieve the LD50 for the average 70 kg (154 lb.) male, which would cost you $1,167.23. The intake of this much DMG would take an impossibly long time to swallow all the tablets, so a toxic dose would be impossible in humans, considering it would take almost 50 liters of water to swallow the pills, which in itself is a lethal dose.”
Why Take DMG?
Dimethylglycine is absolutely essential to virtually all human biological functions. DMG plays a key role in at least 41 different biochemical processes that are directly linked to how the body ages. DMG is required by all 70 trillion cells of the body for everything from proper nutrient absorption to cellular metabolism and energy production to oxygenation of the bloodstream. Dimethylglycine increases neuron activity and brain function, promotes healthy heart function, supports proper liver function and detoxification, enhances immune system function, and is generally essential to virtually all human biological function, including the production of DNA.
The body makes DMG, but not in sufficient levels to counter the many stress factors that assault the body today. Unfortunately, the body makes less and less dimethylglycine as we age. DMG is an anti-stress nutrient and metabolic enhancer, which provides a wide spectrum of benefits to health, vitality and wellness. It also has many healing and therapeutic benefits. Therefore, for optimal health, most people will notice significant improvement when taking DMG. The specific benefits that a person will receive from taking DMG are very unique to that person’s overall health, lifestyle, age and stress level.
How to Take DMG
Dimethylglycine is quickly broken down in the body, so smaller doses multiple times a day is best rather than taking it all at once. It is best to take DMG several times throughout the day in order to maintain consistent availability to the body. May be taken with out without food.
Dimethylglycine is best taken between meals to avoid competitive uptake from other amino acids although it can be taken with food as well. Individuals with heavy work schedules, high stress, athletes or people dealing with a major health problem can benefit from higher intakes of DMG. Depending on the specific area of use, the recommended dosage of DMG can range anywhere from 125mg to over 1000mg a day. An additional 150mg to 300mg can be taken for every 2 to 4 hours of exercise or heavy stress. Due to biochemical individuality, results can show up anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
In Conclusion
DMG can help you live a longer, better and healthier life. It can add years to your life and life to your years. Dimethylglycine is a safe, effective and natural way to build wellness and optimize health. Taking DMG is a practical way to support well-being, cope with stress, slow the aging process and allow us to stay healthier by fortifying our body against dis-ease. Mountain Well-Being is the source for pure, high quality DMG packaged in convenient chewable tablets.

At VetriScience® Laboratories, we take pride in our unique supplements and our use of pure and highly researched ingredients in products that are safe, effective, and developed by vets for vets. Our research on a few different signature ingredients has helped build our reputation as a leader in the animal health industry. One of these is our Glyco FLEX® line of supplements, all of which feature Perna canaliculus (GlycOmega™ brand) green-lipped mussel from New Zealand, as well as our flagship ingredient: N,N-Dimethylglycine (DMG). In fact, DMG is included in a large percentage of our products because of its comprehensive properties. Because we want to ensure that vets understand the full benefits of DMG, this week’s blog post will cover its history and function.
History of DMG
Interestingly, DMG supplement use began with horses. It was used to support performance and endurance in our equine companions for years, and then we realized what DMG had many other condition specific properties. Our parent company, FoodScience® Corporation, has received five U.S. patents due to our extensive research on this vital nutrient. Today, the manual of nutritional supplementation, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, recommends DMG for support of over 40 different health conditions.
Basic Facts About DMG
DMG is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative and a methyl donor that supports the body’s metabolic processes.
As an immune system modulator, DMG supports circulation, oxygen utilization, brain health, liver health, cellular structure, cardiovascular health, as well as joint comfort and hydration.
DMG supports the production of hormones, antibodies, neurotransmitters, amino acids, and other essential substances in the body.
DMG does not suppress or excite the immune system. Instead, it is an immune modulator.
One of the most remarkable properties of DMG is that it can be used with other nutrients to create truly comprehensive formulas. We carry a wide variety of condition specific products that feature DMG. Products designed for liver support, immune support, and geriatric animal health are some of our most well-known DMG supplements.
Liver Health and Cognitive Function
Because DMG supports the production of a host of beneficial substances, including glutathione, it supports the liver in the detoxification process. That’s partly why it is included in Vetri Liver Canine, which supports Phase II detoxification, which removes unwanted substances from the body by converting them into water-soluble chemicals that can be easily excreted via bile and urine. Glutathione, cysteine, turmeric, and DMG found in Vetri Liver Canine work together to support the liver in this process. We also offer Vetri Liver Feline.
In addition to liver health, healthy circulation is a huge piece of maintaining joint health and comfort throughout life. Healthy circulation and oxygen utilization also support neurological health, so that DMG has earned a reputation as a supporter of social skills, cognitive function, and balanced mood states.
Immune Health in Geriatric Animals
Dmg Dosage For Dogs
DMG is wildly versatile and unique, which is one of the main reasons we have included it in so many of our products. Aside from our joint health products, our immune support products and supplements for geriatric dogs and cats are some of our most sought after supplements. Vetri DMG™ is a formula to support immune system health and function in dogs and cats. This high potency formula is perfect for aging pets since DMG helps to strengthen the immune response when the body is confronted by foreign antigens, microorganisms, and stress, all of which have a larger impact on older dogs and cats.
