Optimal range: 0 - 1 micromol/g creatinine
Sarcosine is an amino acid made within the methylation cycle when S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is conjugated with glycine.
It can also be made by catabolism of dimethylglycine (DMG).
There are many dietary sources of sarcosine including eggs, legumes, nuts, and meats.
Sarcosine is also available as an over-the-counter supplement, and it is widely used in cosmetic formulations (toothpaste, creams, and soaps) and detergents.
In the methylation cycle, sarcosine is created by the GNMT enzyme, which functions to control SAM excess. Some clinicians use sarcosine elevation as a marker of ‘excess methyl supplementation’ or ‘over-methylation.’ Currently, there is no literature to support this hypothesis, but rather it is based on physiology.

Sarcosine is also known as N-methylglycine. It is an intermediate and byproduct in the glycine synthesis and degradation. Sarcosine is metabolized to glycine by the enzyme sarcosine dehydrogenase, while glycine-N-methyl transferase generates sarcosine from glycine.

Sarcosine is an amino acid made when SAM is conjugated with glycine by the glycine-N- methyltransferase (GNMT) enzyme. It can also be made by catabolism of DMG. There are many dietary sources of sarcosine including eggs, legumes, nuts, and meats. [L]
Sarcosine is also available as an over-the-counter supplement, and it is widely used in cosmetic formulations (toothpaste, creams, and soaps) and detergents. [L]
In the methylation cycle, sarcosine is created by the GNMT enzyme, which functions to control SAM excess. Disposal of excess SAM is seen in excess methyl donor supplementation, or SAM elevation due to adiposity/ obesity. Some clinicians use sarcosine elevation as a marker of ‘excess methyl supplementation’ or ‘over- methylation.’ Currently, there is no literature to support this hypothesis, but rather it is based on physiology.
