My son is fairly sensitive, so I don't like to give combo supps. If you give

DMG, B12 and folic separately, you can better assess the problem.

It also could be a problem that you gave him a full cap. You might need to

start with a tiny dose and work up.

My son was not able to tolerate the folinic acid until we got it in a

transdermal from Coastal Compounding. And he never could tolerate DMG at

all. But TMG has been great for him.

Hi Lynne,

Thanks very much for the advice! Do you know where I can get the DMG or TMG

without the folinic and B12 mixed in? In the meantime I'll take your advice and

reduce the initial amount of DMG from 1 caps to 1/4 caps as he is already

getting some DMG without problems through the BCN spectrum support he is taking.

I buy the TMG from lifeextension.com. This is the brand Jill used in

her study. When we tried DMG, we bought Country Life brand from Whole Foods.

There are lots of brands of DMG available at health food stores.

Lynne,

Thanks for all your advice around DMG. Having looked at the BCN product he is

taking that contains TMG and he seems ok with this so maybe I should switch to

straight TMG. Jack also has a problem with the folinic so he is not currently

taking this.

With many thanks
