ʻO BetaineʻO ia kekahi ʻano mea hoʻohui meaʻai ʻole, ʻo ia ka mea like me ka ʻai ʻana i nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona e like me nā holoholona wai, ʻo ka ʻike kemika o nā mea synthetic a i ʻole i unuhi ʻia, ka mea hoʻowalewale pinepine i ʻelua a ʻoi aku paha nā hui, loaʻa i kēia mau hui ka synergy i ka hānai holoholona wai, ma o ke ʻala a me ka ʻono o nā holoholona wai a me ka stimulus ʻike maka, e like me ka ʻākoakoa a puni e hānai, e wikiwiki i ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai a hoʻonui i ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai.

ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka betaine i ka ʻai ʻōpae hiki ke hoʻopōkole i ka manawa hānai 1/3 a i ka 1/2 a hoʻonui i ka lawe ʻana i ka macrobrachium rosenbergii. Loaʻa i ka meaʻai i loaʻa ka betaine ka hopena maunu maopopo i nā carps a me nā anteater unahi hihiu, akā ʻaʻohe hopena maunu maopopo i nā carps mauʻu. Hiki iā Betaine ke hoʻonui i ka ʻono o nā waikawa amino ʻē aʻe i ka iʻa, a hoʻonui i ka hopena o nā waikawa amino. Hiki iā Betaine ke hoʻonui i ka makemake, hoʻonui i ke kūpaʻa ʻana i nā maʻi a me ka palekana, a uku no ka emi ʻana o ka lawe ʻana i ka meaʻai iʻa a me ka ʻōpae ma lalo o ke kaumaha.

He meaʻai koʻikoʻi ka Choline no nā holoholona. Hāʻawi ia i nā hui methyl i loko o ke kino e komo i nā hopena metabolic. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua ʻike ʻia nā haʻawina hiki i ka betaine ke hāʻawi i nā hui methyl no ke kino, a ʻo ka pono o ka betaine e hāʻawi ana i nā hui methyl he 2.3 mau manawa o ka choline chloride, e lilo ia i mea hāʻawi methyl ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. Ma hope o 150 mau lā, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka lōʻihi o ke kino o ka macrobrachium rosenbergii e 27.63% a ua emi ka lakio hoʻololi hānai e 8% i ka wā i pani ʻia ai ka betaine no ka choline chloride. Hiki i ka Betaine ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka oxidation o nā waikawa momona i loko o nā cell, mitochondria, a hoʻomaikaʻi nui i nā ʻiʻo a me ke akepaʻa o ka ʻike o ka long chain ester acyl carnitine a me ka long chain ester acyl carnitine a me ka hapa o ka carnitine manuahi, paipai i ka adipose decompose, hōʻemi i ka ate a me ka waiho ʻana o ka momona o ke kino, paipai i ka synthesis protein, hoʻolaha hou i ka momona o ke kino, hoʻemi i ka hanana o ke akepaʻa momona.
