> On that, any idea what might be a reasonable amount of each to take...to achieve a SAMe-like result without raising homocysteine too high? (I can't afford the blood test at this time.)First, you won't raise homocysteine, if you're taking TMG.
The dose of TMG that is effective varies substantially in different people. I can't tolerate more than a couple grams, tops. And I can't take it every day. I take 500-1000 mg, occasionally. But I know people who take eight or ten grams, every day.
