TMG (Trimethylglycine) | The Common Sense MD | Dr. Tom Rogers

In this episode of the Common Sense MD, Dr. Rogers talks about the supplement Trimethylglycine (TMG). You'll learn the benefits of TMG, who should consider taking it, and what makes it different from glycine. Hope this helps some of you!

I started taking 1 g of TMG yesterday. And it got my blood pressure under 140 for the first time in 67 weeks. And today as well. It was 126/79 which is the way it used to be.

[@javatrace9730]

What brand are you using?

[@user-vz4gg6cs4l]

holy hell, you can't have a blood pressure that high. Get medication. High blood pressure is harmful even without causing strokes or heartattacks. The blood pressure stressess the ateries so much that they become less able to transmit oxygen and nutrients to the cells. This can cause organ damage in such a degree that people can get dementia from high blood pressure alone. Hope you find smt. that works

[@thomascardon2775]

As a biochemist, i add the following info to clarify what was said in the video: Betaine anhydrous and betaine monohydrate are equivalent in terms of its biochemical properties. Anhydrous just means the powder crystals do not contain water. Monohydrate contains 1:1 ratio of water molecules to betaine molecules. Betaine HCl is technically anhydrous because its powder crystals do not contain water. Betaine HCl is just the acidic form of betaine. You can convert betaine HCl to betaine by adding a solution of sodium bicarbonate until the mixture is pH 7.2 (neutral). The hydrochloric acid (HCl) in your stomach will convert 1/2 your betaine to betaine HCl. To get the same dosage, you'll need to adjust for the differences in molecular weight. That means you'll need to take 1.15 g of betaine monohydrate to equal 1 g of betaine anhydrous.

Your straight forward wisdom without any bull shizz is extremely refreshing Dr ! Continue to share your insights, wisdom and Light of truth Sir. ❤

Most comprehensive lay mechanistic explanation of TMG & all related on yt, thank u❤️🙏💪

[@jayp4114]

God Bless you, Dr. Roger's. This video was a treasure of knowledge to an MTFHR challenged Veteran, as myself 🙏

[@artsiecrafty4164]

TMG is amazing. I have the MTHFR gene. TMG stopped my having to drive home from a party drunk. I was sober within a half hour. Also, I get painless migraine auras, which are a nuisance. Again it disappears quickly whereas without it, I am virtually disabled all day. I will try it with my daytime dose of gly NAC.

[@joe1071]

Thank you Mr Rogers

[@mreudeco]

Thank you 🙏 and may God bless you for sharing.

Thabnk you for this, I have 2snp 1298 and 1snp 977 MTHFR and started taking Trimethylglycine yestarday from a post you wrote. Thank you.

[@cindywhittaker3003]

Update? How are you?

[@MGJ-nu6zj]

Thank you. Very informative. 🙏🏻

[@KitaeHapShim]

Great information. Very clear and concise, making it very useful. I just started TMG and NMN.

[@Demetra825]

I just started TMG and NR 12 days ago.

[@SuperKatdancer]

Can TMG and Betaine HCL be used together? I think I do have low stomach acid and deal with high blood pressure. Not sure I have the MTFHR gene but think I do.

[@artmanjohn2]

I take TMG and I also take a Beet Root 20:1 Extract (Beta vulgaris, root) equivalent to 8,000 mg of fresh Beet Root, is this redundant and unnecessary?

[@gaylegonzalez71]

What brand tmg do you take, as well as the b 6, 12 and folic acid?

[@AaronMichaelSmart]

Which one do we take of these ?

[@WJHandyDad]

since it's an amino acid, doesn't it have to be taken on an empty stomach with no protein for at least an hour

[@pilot724]

Dr. Rogers any GPs you recommend in the North Atlanta area?

[@francoistourigny3006]

Very appreciate your lecture! can you tell me I am worried to take B6 because it’s supposed to be harmful in to large amounts! Thanks you so much, I subscribe.

[@titaniummaster1532]

Are all brands the same when it comes to TMG or is there one that shines above the others? Thank you for the info !

[@minouagah8280]

Also with hrt in post menopause

[@jmh8510]

What do you mean? Good with hrt taking tmg? Or…? Thx.

[@andrealarosa7312]

In the video you say that TMG and Betine HCL are two different things. This is true, but the question is: If I already take Betaine HCL for digestion, is it right for me to also take TMG? In theory both are betaine except that in Betaine hydrochloride the betaine is linked with a different molecule. What do you think? Thank you

[@wpmitra7251]

Never mention David Sinclair.

[@StaceyTrevino-de5tr]

Can you take it before bedtime or just in the morning?

[@heyjace7213]

I have the C677T homozygous and I’ve been taking methylated B vitamins in the morning and glycine at night and I just kept feeling worse and worse so yesterday I stopped. Also I gained 10 lbs in a weeks time.

[@stephanienewton6618]

You have to increase these vitamins slowly. Methylated vitamins stimulate a detox effect. I’d try again but one at a time and maybe twice per week then slowly increase. I personally take tmg every other day. Good luck!

[@barbaracarlton8869]

My husband and I both have the MTHFR and high homocystine. For some reason we hold on to Vitamin B6 and do not excrete it as fast. Any advice or futher information please add. My husband now has high BP and despite a healthier diet and increase of exercise, he has lowered it somewhat but cannot get it in a safe range. We are definitely interested in trying TMG. Thanks for the info.

[@cindywhittaker3003]

Try some beetroot powder and hibiscus tea is good too!😊

[@Hustle-N-Flow]

Check his kidneys and insulin resistance levels. He might have to do rolling 90 hr water fast consistently over 6 months or so to lost insulin resistance that could be stubborn due to a bad diet for so long. Cut all carbs and check for kidney disease. Might to go plant based to reverse it if that’s the case

[@Thecamerachaos]

I have NAC, TMG, Glycine. What will be the best time to take it? I do have Multivitamins & Calcium Sup. If anyone tell me best time to take ?

What’s the difference between TMG and DMG(do-methylglycine), please?

[@EclecticApotheosis]

One methyl group.

[@anastasiavarianichenko9026]

Hello, could you please tell me how high did you have your homocisteine? What do you mean high, and what blood test can show the mutation of the folate cicle? Thank you!

[@WideAwakeHuman]

Genetic test for MTHFR - look around and you can find send out tests you can do from home for a few hundred bucks.

[@tomjones2348]

Speaking MTHFR, homocysteine, B12, and P5P, Everyone here needs to read the book "Could it be B12"? by Pacholok and Stuart.

[@TCgirl]

Should women take TMG too?

[@drobertjacobs]

What about diabetes?

[@fishnski9211]

Is there enough Glycine in TMG to add to NAC for Glynac?

[@andrewrivera4029]

That’s my question too. I’ve dropped the glycine and upped the TMG with NAC.

[@fishnski9211]

@@andrewrivera4029 I also get a lot of Glycine with my morning coffee and Collagen...

What TMG supplement would you recommend?

[@timothybeckwith136]

If you're someone who uses a pre-workout supplement, you may be getting Betaine anhydrous already. The pre-workout supplement that I use contains 2.5G Betaine.

[@minouagah8280]

Can it help with tremors and anxiety,?

[@spacecatboy2962]

i have a feeling he wont answer

[@LaughsatVideos]

I have graves disease so I bought it and just tried it, tremors were so bad, high heart beat, high blood pressure, swollen thyroid.. so its worth the try for me...

[@brandont7407]

So you said 500mg to 3g a day how do you know the correct amount for most ?

[@miguelduhamel3394]

Take on empty or full stomach?

[@alrivers2297]

Amino acid supplements should be taken on an empty stomach

[@Hustle-N-Flow]

Doesn’t matter I get the same effect both ways

[@ashlynvarner2826]

I watched the whole thing to figure out a dosage and he never gave it!

[@alysen21]

1,000mg daily- he said it around the 5 min. Mark. Don’t exceed 4,000mg daily

[@user-gt6eg5wx4u]

Anyone know why i get a massive headache from tmg? just taking 500mg

[@joycesexton3657]

I thought he said not to take more than 4 mgs.

Around 6 minutes he tells you how much to take.
