Product Overview
Betaine Anhydrous, Betaine Monohydrate and Betaine Hydrochloride are three common forms of betaine products. All of them are white crystalline powder and can be supplied in food grade and feed grade.
Betaine Anhydrous is most widely used in dietary supplements, food additives and cosmetic formulations. Betaine Monohydrate is mainly applied in animal feed, while Betaine Hydrochloride is also a popular feed additive. In addition, food grade versions of Monohydrate and Hydrochloride are available for qualified manufacturers.
Character
1.Three types of betaine for different formulation requirements
2.High purity crystalline powder, stable quality for large bulk orders
3.Good water solubility, easy to add into powder, tablet and capsule formulas
4.Different hygroscopicity and pH characteristics to match diversified application scenarios
5.Available for food, dietary supplement and animal feed industries
Main Functions
All three betaine products share the core functions as methyl donor and osmoprotectant.
1.Methyl Donor Activity Betaine provides methyl groups for metabolism, promotes nutrient synthesis and improves nutrient utilization efficiency for humans and animals.
2.Osmotic Pressure Protection It stabilizes cell osmotic pressure, reduces organism stress damage, improves animal adaptability, and stabilizes food and cosmetic formulations.
Special property: Betaine Hydrochloride possesses mild acidity, which can adjust the pH value of feed and food formulas. Betaine Anhydrous and Betaine Monohydrate are neutral, without pH adjustment function.
Applications
1. Betaine Anhydrous
Food Industry: Used as nutritional fortifier and food additive for functional food processing.
Dietary Supplement Industry: The most mainstream betaine raw material for human health supplements.
Cosmetic Industry: Used in skin care formulas for moisturizing and cell protection.
Feed Industry: Applied in high-grade animal feed for nutrition supplementation.
2. Betaine Monohydrate
Feed Industry: Core application scenario, widely used in livestock, poultry and aquaculture feed additives.
Food Industry: Food grade available, used for food nutritional fortification and formula improvement.
3. Betaine Hydrochloride
Feed Industry: Widely used in various animal feeds to promote digestion and metabolism.
Food Industry: Food grade specification for special food formula conditioning and nutritional supplementation.
