**TL;DR:** Looking for real experiences with TMG for performance. Worth it or just hype?

Been seeing a lot of chatter about TMG (trimethylglycine) lately, claiming it can help with performance and recovery. I'm all for experimenting with supplements, but I'm a little skeptical here. Does anyone have actual experience with it? Like, do the benefits hold up against the science, or is this just another overhyped product? Would love to hear ur thoughts or any solid evidence before I drop my cash on this!

  i've been using TMG for a couple of months now. I started because I was dealing with some fatigue during my workouts. I can't say it's a miracle, but I've noticed some improvement in my endurance, especially on heavier lifts. Plus, I feel like my recovery has been a bit smoother, which is always a plus for this busy mom!

  Facts! TMG has been so good for my energy levels. I mix it into my smoothie every morning, and it's like I'm fueled up for the day. 💪

    I totally get that! But, if you're considering TMG, maybe try it for a few weeks and see if you notice any differences. You might be surprised at how it affects your recovery and energy levels.

  Honestly, I've tried a lot of supplements over the years and TMG is one that I keep coming back to. I felt more focused during my workouts and my lifts improved after I added it in. Just make sure you're checking the quality of the brand you choose!

    Lmao, just remember: you can't out-supplement a bad diet! But hey, if TMG works for you, more power to ya! Just don't be that guy at the gym spouting off about it like it's the next creatine.

    I used TMG for a few months while prepping meals for my family. It's not just about performance; I found it helped with my mood too! Life with kids can be hectic, and having that extra bit of focus was nice. Just be careful about dosage; too much can mess with your stomach.

  Bro, TMG is just another fad! They say it's for performance but like, isn't everything? I'll stick with my creatine and protein shakes, thanks. 😂

    That's a fair point, but sometimes adding something like TMG can help balance things out when life gets crazy. I find it helps me stay consistent with my workouts, which is key for busy moms like me.

  Ngl, I've been doing some research on it too. The studies are kinda mixed, but some people swear by it for reducing fatigue. I think it could be worth a shot for the right person, just don't expect miracles. Also, squat form first! 😉

  From a coaching perspective, I've seen some clients benefit from it, particularly with endurance. But like any supplement, it's not a substitute for a solid nutrition plan. If you're not getting enough whole foods, don't expect TMG to save the day.

  I mean, I love my rest days way too much to be all about performance supplements. 😅 If TMG helps, that's cool, but I'd rather just focus on good sleep and stretching.
