The evidence in words
How much to take
2.5 g/day, often split, alongside training.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Betaine (TMG); consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
As an osmolyte it supports cell hydration and possibly creatine synthesis; as a methyl donor it converts homocysteine to methionine.
Bottom line
A cheap maybe-ergogenic. 2.5 g/day for a small shot at better power/composition; also lowers homocysteine.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
