Yes, the thought had ocurred to me.

I am getting 75mg a day of cyanocobalamin in my multivitamin/mineral (powder-containing capsules)(1250% US RDA).

TMG only gave me a mild boost in self-confidence with a dose of 1500 mg CONCURRENT with my drinking protein powder. It did nothing when I wasn't taking some form of simple aminos.

Heartburn and upset stomach only trouble me when I eat way too much (normally associated with holiday meals) or too much too close to bedtime (postural?).

Thanks for these suggestions.

Does my reaction to TMG ring any bells?
