I started taking TMG for my high blood pressure. Homocysteine may cause hypertension in some people. My blood pressure was always around 155/90. Getting it check 2 times a week for about 2 months. 2 days after taking it was at 149/84. This is week 2 im at 138/81.

[@JTJaredTaylor]

I take a lot of supplements. At what point is "enough is enough"? 200 capsules, pills and powder per day? And what of adverse interactions between the supplement cocktail I'm ingesting each day? I also see a lot of "can", "may", "should", "might", etc. describing the supplements. That's not scientific, it borders on guess work. And the cost for all of these supplements gets prohibitive.

[@DOCB-op1qc]

people are different. they have different genetic polymorphisms. so the mechanism is there for it to reduce homocysteine, which is correlated with several diseases .but he cant make blanket statements for the entire population. people with liver problems should mot take alot of iburporfen, also if their a stroke risk.but ppl use it everyday. maybe hire a functional medicine practitioner & u can be screened & see whats right for u.

[@Droidzi]

@DOCB-op1qc's advice (above) to get a (thorough baseline) screen (DNA even) by a *reputable* functional medicine specialist is a good one. It really helps you decide where to focus your energy and budget. It's best to be educated and in the know about your own body, than taking everything recommended off of KZbin. It will cost dollars - but look at it like an investment in YOU - not a cost.

If the onset is within minutes it must be a nocebo effect. Pills just don't enter your blood stream and brain fast enough to have an effect so quickly.

Here's an idea....stop taking a full gram of the stuff. Lower the freaking dose and then gradually increase. If you're having issues then obviously it's too much

Just a quick update, I'm now down to 1 propranolol a day instead of 2. For some reason, my palpitations come back, but it has definitely made a difference. I'm going to keep taking tmg and hopefully will be able to come of the beta blockers. I will update in 2 weeks again.

[@greg.DeAlto]

I started taking TMG and methyl folate after understanding I have the MHTFR gene. What time of the day do you recommend taking TMG? I took 500mg it this morning around 8am and it feels like it has some sluggish feeling effects so much so that I took a 45min nap at 3pm. Anyone else experience that?

[@JTJaredTaylor]

Hey Greg, I haven't experienced what you've described personally. I generally take TMG later in the day. If it's making you fell sluggish it may be best to take it in the evening. Glycine can have a calming effect and many people like to take it at night before bed because it helps them sleep. Hope that helps.

[@Mind69420]

Yes, i have. Methyl donor vitamins aren't received well for a lot of folks with atypical MTHFR polymorphisms.

[@EVentures888]

Doesn't TMG increase LDL levels? Has your LDL cholesterol level increased after taking TMG for several months?

[@JTJaredTaylor]

Great question. I haven't heard about the effects of TMG and LDL but it's worth looking into. My LDL actually came down slightly but I don't think it was the TMG. I reduced saturated fat in my diet and that seemed to make a difference. The issue I ran into is that my HDL also when down which is the wrong direction.

I ordered TMG 500 mg today. Is 500 mg a low dose of TMG? I want to start at a very low dose. 😊

[@JTJaredTaylor]

Recommendations for TMG dosage seem to range from 500mg to 3grams per day. So, yes you are on the lower end of the range with 500mg. If you want to start with an even lower dose you could consider splitting that in half and start with that. Hope that helps.

Please tell me. For muscle growth, to increase protein synthesis. How should I take betaine? Every day or only on training days? Take before and after workout or throughout the day?

I think you're over thinking it bud. But generally that's a pretty work out sup. Eat with a good macro count and work out both consistently

[@JTJaredTaylor]

Hi, I agree with not over thinking it. My understanding is that most people who are taking TMG (betaine) for athletic performance are taking around 1 to 1.5 grams per day often split up in 2 doses. Some people take more depending on height and weight etc. I've been taking 1 gram per day every day usually in the afternoon. I've taking 2 grams before but most often I just do 1 gram. I would recommend doing a little research especially as it pertains to your specific goals but I hope that helps.

Hi Diego, first it's important to know that I am not a doctor. It's okay to take in addition to magnesium, B complex and Vitamin D3. As for how much and how long to take it specifically for helping with high blood pressure, I would highly recommend speaking to your personal doctor about it.

I don't personally. I like to take NMN in the morning and TMG later in the afternoon or in the evening. You CAN take them together and many people do. My understanding is that it's slightly better to take them separately but I don't believe it matters significantly. I hope that helps.
