We use Kirkmans DMG. We started it last year and felt that his eye contact

seemed better.

Good Luck

Anyone out there using DMG? If so are you seeing any pos. results?

Thanks, Michele

We use Kirkman's DMG w/Folic acid & B12 - 2 capsules per day. Son is

5yo, 47lbs. We saw increased expressive language with 1 cap/day, and

another increase at 2/day. Tried 3/day, saw no change, so we dropped

back to 2.

I tried TMG with my kids about 3 years ago. My #3 had such a bad

reaction I almost took him to the hospital.

I have heard some kids do better with DMG, others TMG, other neither.

Just start slowly in case your child reacts badly.

Also, my son could not tolerate either until I started supplementing folic acid

and B12 at the same time. Kirkman carries TMG and DMG mixed with folic

acid and B12. I just give my son the TMG or DMG with an everyday vitamin

that contains B vitamins.

I do Kirkman's DMG with B12 and Folic Acid....1 tsp a day for my 2 1/2, 31

pound son. It's a liquid.

Pam:

I do not think there is any recommended dose. Most people start off

with a half a pill per day and then gradually increase the dose if

necessary. I tried DMG twice now with my daughter and she seems to

get hyper every time I try it (one pill per day). I have heard alot

of peole say they give their child 4 per day. I have also heard a

couple of people that give a lot more than that. It really depends

upon the particular child.

I am not sure of the brand I have either, but I am going to try TMG

from Kirkman Labs (wwww.kirkmanlabs.com). Some kids do not do well

on DMG but they may do well on TMG. (The difference is explained on

the kirkmanlabs website. I am also going to get the TMG with the

folic acid. Supposedly folic acid helps with they hyperness

sometimes caused by DMG.

Hope this helps.

I'm guessing my capsules have BOTH DMG and TMG (dimethyl and

trimethylglycine?). What do you think about that? Me thinks I need

to return this! Time to order from Kirkman's.

Thanks, ! Let me know how your TMG trial goes. I also think I

need to do a folic acid supplement since the grains our gone from

Ian's diet. Not sure where else folic acid comes from (as far as a

toddler diet goes).

You gain one nutrient just to lose another. How frustrating!

We use AAngamik, DMG 125 mg. Ingredients say N, N-Dimethylglycine 125 mg. It

says pure N, N-Dimethylglycine. Distributor is FoodScience. We introduced with 1

capsule for a week then upped it to 2, then 3, then 4. With 4 he was very hyper,

so we knocked it back down to 3. ph does great at 3. He weighs 43 pounds,

but when we started he weighed 32. I'm not a doctor, nor do I have any training,

other than taking care of my son. Please take my advice with a grain of salt.

I've heard and read that some kids have no reaction to it, and others do well

with a similar product offered by Kirkman Labs.

I bought " DMG-B15-Plus " from Enzymatic Therapy. Each capsule

contains 100 mg Betaine (trimethylglycine), 100 mg N,N-

Dimethylglycine HCL and 25 mg glycine. I have no clue here.

This was the only capsule I could find. If this is not appropriate,

can somebody give me a brand name/source? I haven't opened the

bottle yet so I can return it.

I appreciate it.

Is TMG and DMG perscription drugs or vitamins you can buy over the counter. Is

this something that a parent can do and not worry about detrimental problems as

Rx drugs, or is this applied with a Dr. and monitoring blood work system

treatment. How much in dosage and frequency do you know to give? When your

child is taking this, what do you watch for symptoms to disappear then therefore

it's helping him/her per say?

Thanks

Just a quick note on the TMG or DMG...we tried Kirkman's years ago. Increase

in stimming and anger. I used the one with added folic acid. Later on, I was

told by a friend that there just is not enough folic acid in the formula and

that she adds more. I still have not tried it again though.

[Guest guest]

how do you know whether to give dmg or tmg? anything specific about the

child that can help you choose?

[Guest guest]

YOu can get Kirkamn in UK via www.nutricentre.com they do DMG and TMG, saves

on customs duty

Thanks for that info. I use Source Naturals brand of TMG and supplement with

my local HFS brand of folic acid. I had suggested Kirkman's to someone who

lived in the UK as she said it was difficult getting DMG and TMG.

If you are looking to increase language skills, attention and focus etc.,

then start with DMG. I had started out on this and for about a month

she did terrific, but started back sliding emotionally again and had an

aggressive incident in school. When I researched TMG, it helps to raise

serotonin levels which in turn (hopefully) reduces aggression and rages.

Since has been on it, she has been in great spirits and happy all the

time. However, the dosage I was giving her may have been too high as she has

been getting too giddy and silly, so I reduced the dosage in half and

started alternating between DMG and TMG daily.

Hi there!

We actually picked up some DMG from our local health food store and I've had

a heck of a time getting my four year old to take it. He chewed one once,

but clearly did not like it and has refused them since. I was told that the

liquid version tastes pretty bad, so I know that won't work. Any suggestions

on how to get the pill into him? I've read so many good things about

supplementing with DMG...I wish he would take it. Any ideas would be greatly

appreciated.

DMG can be had in capsule form which can be opened up in put in his juice or in

liquid form. I order thru

Kirkmanlabs.com DMG w/folinic acid and vit b12 in cap and liquid form. It's the

only way to get my son to take it. We've been giving this to Mark since 15 mo.

He'll be 4 next month(yeah!)

Take care and keep in touch

If your child likes to eat apple sauce or yogurt, you could try crushing the

supplement into a powder and adding to those foods. That's what we do with

our 2 1/2 year old, and it works fine.

Hope that helps.

We use the form of TMG, good response, but was taking it along

w/other supplements as well. TMG has 3 methyl donor groups instead of

two in the DMG, if a child does well w/DMG TMG is not needed, my son

is methyl deficient by testing so we knew he would do better w/TMG

instead of DMG.We also cleaned up his diet in a major way, so it is

hard to say which one did the trick but all is well here with what we

are doing.

Hi Jackie

TMG/DMG blend did nothing for my son when he was 2 years old. I did

buy pure DMG but never used it.

If you are willing to wait until I get my home unpacked from our move

(the stuff arrives on the 26th), I can send you my unopened pack of

DMG. It is good quality. I bought it from our Co-op this year. It

is light and will cost zippo to mail.

I will try to remember to check the archives when I get our computer

set up (on the 27th) to see if you are interested. Try sending an

email with your address to my private comcast.com account above (if

you are interested). If I can access it when I get to WI, I'll get

your address.

Take care,

Pam

p.s. the DMG is one me. Consider it my gift to your child!

Hi,

TMG and DMG are sold through various places; here is one that also sells

ProEFA capsules. If you want to try TMG or DMG, I suggest you order the

trial size first. For my kid, DMG did nothing but TMG made him babble more,

and for my other kid they both made him very hyper.www.kirkmanlabs.com

We did..... kind of. My son started taking it and had a slight burst.

words got clearer and sentences longer. then I ran out and things

went to pot. We started up last week and I havn't seen the noticable

improvements come back but im also doing intensive oral motor stuff

with him and that sometimes screws up his articulation in the

beginning.

[Guest guest]

DMG is a nutrient that is supposed to help with expressive languagee.

It's one of those nutrients that our kiddos can be lacking in.
