betaine and Seizures

betaine has been researched along with Seizures in 8 studies

glycine betaine : The amino acid betaine derived from glycine.

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.
