A B16 supplement usually contains dimethylglycine (DMG). It is sometimes marketed as vitamin B16, but DMG is not recognized as an essential vitamin that the body needs from food.
A B16 supplement has no well-established health benefit. Claims that it boosts energy, stamina, or immunity are not supported by strong clinical evidence in healthy people.
No. The “vitamin” label on a B16 supplement is misleading: DMG is not among the recognized essential vitamins, and there is no established daily requirement for it.
Most B16 supplements contain DMG, but the formula and added ingredients vary by product. The B16 name alone does not guarantee a standardized ingredient list or the same formulation across brands.
A B16 supplement has not been shown to reliably increase energy. Marketing claims about DMG and energy production do not amount to strong evidence that it improves energy levels in healthy people.
A B16 supplement has not been shown to boost immunity. Claims about immune support do not mean the product prevents infections or protects you from illness.
If you choose to take a B16 supplement, follow the directions for that specific product and do not exceed them. Formulas can differ, so do not assume another brand’s serving instructions apply.
A B16 supplement may cause digestive discomfort or other unwanted effects, and safety information is limited. Stop taking it if you develop symptoms, and seek medical advice if they persist.
No reliable evidence shows that a B16 supplement causes weight loss. Claims that it burns fat or suppresses appetite are not enough to support using it as a weight-loss aid.
The safety of B16 supplements during pregnancy has not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, ask your healthcare professional before using one.

GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD
Accounts for portion size — a more realistic measure than GI alone.
To burn the 4 calories in 1 piece (small) (1 g):
🚶
Walking (5 km/h)
🏃
Running (8 km/h)
🚴
Cycling
🏊
Swimming
Times are calculated with the MET equation for a 70 kg adult. Actual burn varies with your weight, age and pace.
A B16 supplement is a tablet or capsule sold under the “B16” name, but its ingredients can vary by product. Some formulations contain dimethylglycine (DMG). B16 is not an established essential vitamin, so the name should not be taken to mean it is a standard vitamin nutrient.
People generally take it with water according to the product label; it is not a food served as part of a meal. The nutrition figures can vary with the formulation, and a typical small piece is about 1 g. Check the ingredient list and serving directions when choosing a product, and treat it as a supplement rather than a substitute for a varied diet.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
