TMG

What is the correct dosage for TMG?


What is TMG? TMG, also known as Trimethylglycine or Betaine, is a nutrient naturally found in various foods, such as wheat, quinoa, and spinach. It plays an important role in the body, including lowering high homocysteine levels to help prevent cardiovascular diseases, improving body composition by supporting fat metabolism and muscle development, and promoting liver health, especially after intensive alcohol use. 

TMG supplements are becoming increasingly popular as a means to promote overall health, help prevent cardiovascular diseases, and even support the liver after intensive alcohol use. In this article, we discuss the correct dosage of TMG and how to use it safely.

The use of TMG

Correct dosage for TMG

How much TMG do you need? There are no official dosage guidelines for TMG supplementation, as needs vary depending on the individual and specific health goals. According to a scientific review from 2018, TMG is safe to use in doses up to 15 grams per day, depending on personal needs and tolerance. This dosage can vary per person, and it is important to start with a lower dose to test tolerance.

Most studies that have investigated the effectiveness of TMG, use dosages between 500 mg and 9 g per day. These dosages are often divided throughout the day in smaller amounts. EnduraVita recommends a daily dose of 1000 to 1500 mg TMG (two to three capsules of 500 mg), as this amount is chosen based on effectiveness and safety, as established in various studies. Additionally, this dose is often considered effective for promoting overall health. 

Use and safety of TMG

Although TMG is generally considered safe, it is important to emphasize that dietary supplements are not a substitute for a healthy and varied diet. Always consult a doctor or healthcare provider before starting to take TMG, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication. If you are under medical supervision or have other health issues, it is extra important to discuss the use of TMG with a doctor.

Side effects are rare, but it is important to know that you should stop using and consult a doctor if you experience hypersensitivity or side effects. TMG is not recommended for children.

Recommended dosages for different goals

The optimal dosage of TMG depends on your specific health goals. Below is an overview of the recommended dosages for different applications:

For liver support:

  • Dosage: 1 to 1.5 grams of TMG per day.
  • This corresponds to 2 to 3 capsules per day.
  • TMG can help support liver function, for example, after intensive alcohol use.

For general health:

  • Dosage: 1 to 1.5 grams of TMG per day.
  • This is equivalent to 2 to 3 capsules per day. One capsule contains 500 mg TMG.
  • This dosage can help improve your overall health and regulate homocysteine.
  • It is important to tailor your dosage to your personal situation. This is especially relevant if you have specific health issues or are taking medication. Always consult a doctor before starting supplementation and start with a low dosage to avoid possible side effects. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage.
