Glycocyamine
increases the production of creatine in the body. It is an immediate precursor
of creatine and is transported to the liver and kidneys, where it is converted
to creatine in the presence of betaine. Glycocyamine also appears to enhance
glucose and creatine uptake by muscle cells. One caveat is the risk factor
involved with it. Studies reveal that it can increase homocysteine-a protein
associated with heart disease.
