explains: "Exposure to oxidative stress is a potent trigger for in ammation. Betaine is formed
from choline within the mitochondria, and this oxidation contributes to mitochondrial redox
status." Guess what another primary source of betaine is? Spinach.
This is where credit is due: Popeye got it right. Spinach is incredible for body recomposition.
The phytoecdysteroids (20HE speci cally) in spinach increase human muscle tissue growth
rates 20% when applied in a culture (think petri dish). Even if you're not interested in growth,
it also increases glucose metabolism. Phytoecdysteroids are structurally similar to insect molting
hormones-- nally, an a ordable way to eat insect molting hormones!--and both increase
protein synthesis and muscular performance. Even little rats build stronger paw grips. In good
