Patent ID: 8293254

Claim:
A salt or complex of a methyl donor compound selected from the group consisting of S-adenosyl-L-methionine and N,N,N-trimethylglycine with phytic acid or with phosphorylated inositol, wherein the phosphorylated inositol is phytic acid having one or more phosphoric groups salified with metal cations, and wherein the salt or complex of a methyl donor compound has the following formula: SAMe·n [(C 6 H (18-x) O 24 P 6 )· M y/a ·N (x-y)/b ] wherein: SAMe is a molecule of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, n is an integer ranging from 1 to 3, 0 ≦x≦ 12 0 ≦y≦ x, M and N are mono- or polyvalent metal cations, a and b are, respectively, the state of oxidation of M and N; or the following formula: m TMG·n [(C 6 H (18-x) O 24 P 6 )· M y/a ·N (x-y)/b ] wherein: TMG is a molecule of N,N,N-trimethylglycine, m and n are integers ranging between 1 and 10, 0 ≦x≦ 12, 0 ≦y≦ x, M and N are mono- or polyvalent metal cations, a and b are, respectively, the state of oxidation of M and N.
