Thanks to its reputation as an all-natural oxygen and endurance enhancer, scientists from all areas of health started their own experiments with DMG to see if it could help their patients. Eventually, it became one of many nutrients used by athletes to help give them a performance edge, and was known in the early days as the DMG vitamin or DMG B15, though it’s not acutally a vitamin by the strict definition of the word. In the 1970s, scientists were able to isolate the amino acid dimethylglycine (pronounced die-meth-ill-gly-seen), called DMG for short, from its source.
