Objectives: We aimed to compare the individuality (within subject consistency) of plasma and urine betaine and N,N-dimethylglycine.Design and methods: In two separate groups of 8 males (ages 19 to 40), plasma (10) and urine (6) samples were collected either over a single day or over an 8 week period. The individuality of the betaine and N,N-dimethylglycine plasma concentrations and excretions were estimated by one-way repeated measures analysis of variance. The reliability coefficients and indices of individuality were calculated. The between-subject variation in the study population was compared with that in a normal population (n=192 for plasma, 205 for urine).Results: Plasma betaine concentrations were significantly different between subjects over 24 h and 8 weeks (p
