Spanish term or phrase: betanía
Busco traducción para esta palabra en el siguiente contexto:

"...una composición a base de aceite de oliva, betanía y xilitol..."

Entiendo que es una clase de sustancia química o una planta o algo así. La frase viene de un informe médico de España que describe una composición que se usaba en el tratamiento.

agree  philgoddard: It's definitely betaína, but does "betaine" on its own make sense? It's a class of substances rather than just one, and Wikipedia says the original betaine is now referred to as glycine betaine.
