In practical terms, the research-backed portion of the formula is the 300mg standardized extract, while the added root powder is better viewed as a supporting inclusion
TML is then hydroxylated by 6-N-trimethyllysine dioxygenase (TMLD), which is located in the mitochondrial matrix, to form 3-hydroxy-6-N-trimethyllysine (HTML)

Some had been accused of taking the easy way out. I think that there is kind of a stigma that its a cop-out, one participant said, that youre just taking the easy way out rather than doing it with diet and exercise like you should.
