At Jodoco, we have made a strategic choice that sets us apart from the competition: we use only natural betaine in all of our products. This is not a marketing choice, but a science-based commitment to provide superior nutritional solutions that benefit animals, livestock producers and the environment.

🎯 Why does Jodoco choose natural betaine over synthetic betaine?

Our R&D team has concluded that natural betaine offers unparalleled benefits that synthetic variants simply cannot match. This choice reflects our core values: quality, durability and peak performance.

The benefits of our natural betaine:

✅ 100% plant origin: extracted exclusively from high-quality sugar beets.
✅ No synthetic chemicals: no artificial additives or chemical residues.
✅ Superior bioavailability: better absorption in all species.
✅ Consistent quality: strict quality control at every stage of production.
✅ Environmental leadership: sustainable raw materials and CO₂-neutral production.

🔬 Why does Jodoco consciously choose natural betaine?

Betaine is a powerful nutrient that occurs naturally in sugar beets and is revolutionizing animal nutrition worldwide. At Jodoco, we have recognized the transformative potential of betaine and made it central to our product philosophy.

Originally discovered in sugar beet juice in the 19th century, betaine has evolved from a little-known plant compound into one of the most researched and valuable additives in modern animal nutrition. Jodoco’s natural betaine fully exploits this potential thanks to our patented extraction and processing methods.

How does Jodoco’s natural betaine work?

🌊 Osmolyte function: helps cells maintain optimal water content under stress.
🧬 Methyl group donor: supports essential metabolic processes for growth and development.
🛡️ Cell function protection: protects against heat stress and environmental factors.
⚡ Energy management: promotes efficient nutrient utilization and feed conversion.
🔄 Choline chloride substitute: superior, non-corrosive alternative to traditional choline chloride.

⚔️ Why natural betaine instead of synthetic?

At Jodoco, we have conducted extensive research into synthetic and natural sources of betaine. The results convincingly support our choice of only natural betaine. Those who understand these essential differences know why our natural approach delivers better results for livestock programs.

🧪 No to synthetic betaine

Synthetic betaine, also known as trimethylglycine (TMG), is produced via chemical synthesis in industrial facilities. Jodoco’s research revealed several critical limitations:

❌ Chemical manufacturing process: manufactured with aggressive chemicals and high temperatures.
❌ Limited bioactive profile: lacks the full range of natural compounds that enhance action.
❌ Sustainability issues: high energy consumption and chemical waste in production.
❌ Variable purity: may contain synthetic residues or impurities.
❌ Lower bioavailability: lower uptake than natural alternatives.
❌ Environmental impact: carbon-intensive production with significant ecological footprint.
❌ Incompatibility with choline chloride: structural limitations prevent effective substitution.
