Betaine Supplementation Improves 60 km Cycling Time Trial Performance and One-Carbon Metabolism in Cyclists During Recovery
Betaine supplementation modestly improved 60 km cycling performance but had no effect on gut permeability. The metabolomics data supported a strong influence of 2-week intake of betaine on the one-carbon metabolism pathway during the 24 h recovery period.
