Behavior Balance-DMG is a nutritional supplement advertised to support balanced behavior, social interactions, and immune system function. The formula is produced by Food Science, and American company founded more than 25 years ago. Their line of products consists in targeted products based on a large diversity of ingredients, from common vitamins and minerals, to enzymes and amino-acids. All their products are advertised as based on the strictest quality regulations and standards.

This formula is promoted as an advanced product that combines a patented compound, N,N-Dimethylglycine (DMG) with Betaine, a few vitamins and minerals, and the amino-acid L-Carnosine. These chemicals are supposed to work synergistically and create a powerful blend able to effectively normalize behavior patterns and immune system function, support stress coping mechanisms, and improve socialization skills.

Synopsis

1) Behavior Balance-DMG at a Glance

The formula is based on various nutrients believed to exert a beneficial effect on emotional balance. B vitamins have been used for numerous years in the brain supplements industry, not only to promote optimal cognitive function, but also to regulate mood and support the overall feeling of well-being. This supplement features three of the eight known B vitamins, namely vitamin B6, B9, and B12.

Dimethylglycine (DMG) is an amino acid naturally produced by the human body in small quantities. The synthetic form is used in the healthcare industry to treat various conditions, such as: ADHD, allergies and respiratory disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, inflammation, high cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar, or epilepsy. The compound is also used to reduce stress and boost the immune system, benefits for which it is included in the Behavior Balance-DMG formula. DMG is an essential chemical in the synthesis of DNA, RNA, Choline, methionine (an essential amino-acid), vitamins, neurotransmitters, and enzymes. However, the scientific evidence regarding the chemical’s potential benefits in all the areas mentioned above is insufficient at this time.

3) Is Behavior Balance-DMG Right for You?

While Behavior Balance-DMG does contain a few essential nutrients and vitamins, there are some ingredients in its formulation that are not fully researched or understood.

The formula, for instance, includes Dimethylglycine, which is classified as neither a vitamin nor an essential nutrient, but enjoyed some popularity among Russian athletes and space travelers because of its apparent ability to increase the oxygenation within cells, thus reducing fatigue and providing a boost of physical stamina. Unfortunately, none of these claims have been proven, and the mechanisms of this ingredient are still unknown.

L-Carnosine, another ingredient available in this product’s formulation, is also not fully understood, but some recent studies suggest that it may have antioxidant properties, delivering protection against radiation damage as well as enhancing heart function and the speedy recovery from injuries.

The daily recommended dose is several drops under the tongue as needed throughout the day to help improve mood and to reduce anxiety. It is stated that a person shouldn’t eat for at least 30 minutes before or after they take Behavior Balance-DMG, to obtain the best possible results.

Price

6) Behavior Balance-DMG Price

Suggested Use

7) Suggested Use

L-Carnosine is a combination of two amino-acids, Alanine and Histidine found in high concentration in the skeletal muscles, brain, and eye. It is known as a potent antioxidant, effective in preventing organ damage caused by free radicals throughout the entire body. Its primary uses are in the treatment of autism, memory impairment caused by aging (including Alzheimer’s disease), cardiovascular conditions, and cataracts. These uses have been scientifically documented, with positive results in clinical trials and studies (human or animal).

Final Thoughts

8) Final Thoughts on Behavior Balance-DMG

Behavior Balance-DMG features several proven ingredients that are effective in maintaining optimal emotional balance. Such substances are the B vitamins, and the minerals Zinc, and Magnesium. The other compounds have also been researched as solutions for treating stress related conditions and immune system problems, but the research is limited and results not yet conclusive. The price for a bottle of 120 capsules is moderately high ($50), but there’s a 46% discount available at the time of this review which makes the supplement more affordable. Also, take into consideration that the necessary daily supply for an adult is 6-8 capsules which can be an inconvenient for some consumers. It also makes 1 bottle last only half a month, increasing the monthly price of the product to $100.
