Hi Lee,
> I had never even heard of trimethylglycine. Is there a particular brand that you use?
Any good quality brand is okey-dokey fine with me. Here is the iherb pages for TMG:

It is about twice as expensive as TMG on a $/milligram of TMG basis. I wonder if the wine extract in it provides health benefits similar to red wine?
Also, Ray Sahelian, M.D., in his book titled "Mind Boosters: A Guide to Natural Supplements that Enhance Your Mind, Memory, and Mood", recommends taking no more than 250 mg/day of TMG and to take days off periodically. Therefore, I use a pill cutter, razor blade, and/or my teeth to hack the 500 mg tablets (or larger) into bite-sized morsels.

Yes, me too. I’m very grateful for Dr. Bob’s generosity (time, talent, and out-of-pocket funds) and for the willingness of the participants to take the time required to share their information.
