Garlic

“So ingestion of particular food compounds actually can increase TMAO, is to offset that by taking 600 milligrams of garlic. Now, I've been taking alpha GPC pretty consistently for a number of years.”

“capsule of garlic anytime I take alpha GPC, which again for me is about four days per week. So, if one wants to increase the amount of dopamine transmission in the brain and body for sake of increasing concentration and focus, one of the most efficient ways to do that is by ingestion of the amino acid L-tyrosine.”

“and other cardiovascular insults. And so that's something to pay attention to. There is some literature that suggests that taking 600 milligrams, 200 milligrams of garlic, pretty much any time in the 24 hour period that you take Alpha-GPC, but probably best to just take them together.”

“I don't know if this is five days a week, or if this is three days a week, I would say anytime you're going to take Alpha-GPC, you should take 600 milligrams of garlic along with it. Or if you can't do it along with it, take it at some point in the next 12 to 24 hours to try and offset this TMAO. I think you'll notice also that if you take”

“You may react to just some of them. But like garlic and onions are also classic. So you hear people who are like, I can't eat garlic. I feel it's horrible, right? That can be a fructan issue. Teff, amaranth, sorghum, quinoa.”

“And your gut microbiota determine how much that happens. Is it true that I can offset any negative effects of alpha-GPC? That is, N-L-carnitine that I take by ingesting garlic? Is that right? There's a compound in garlic called allicin.”

“I believe it's A-L-L-I-C-I-N. It's also part of the scientific name, the genus of types of garlic. And this can help decrease the conversion to TMAO. Berberine actually slightly decreases the conversion to TMAO as well, probably through alteration of the gut microbiome, and then just optimizing your gut microbiome can decrease conversion.”
