Nothing to add here. Betaine falls under none of our products, and no single-ingredient supplement is credibly warranted as support. Rather than placing a product on principle, we leave this page without a purchase recommendation. If you are otherwise on a statin, an antidiabetic, a PPI, a contraceptive or a beta-blocker, that is where we can be useful.
