Description
Betaine Anhydrous Product Overview
Betaine anhydrous (C5H11NO2) is a white, hygroscopic crystalline powder that dissolves very easily in water and has a slightly sweet taste. Producers obtain natural betaine from sugar beet molasses, while synthetic grades are also common.
Feed producers use betaine in poultry, pig and aquaculture diets, because it acts as a methyl donor that can partly replace methionine and choline, and as an osmolyte that helps animals cope with heat stress. Similarly, cosmetic formulators use it as a mild humectant in skin and hair care, and producers of sports and nutritional products use it in powders and capsules, under the regulations of each market.
Furthermore, it differs from Betaine Hydrochloride, which is an acidic salt with different uses. Related feed additives in our range also include DL-Methionine and L-Threonine.
