But I am not keen on takings foods with DMB in them
Foods rich in DMB probably are high in choline and other FMO3 sulfides/amines
It seems likely that Cleveland Heartlab and Proctor & Gamble have agreed to make and sell a 'DMB pill' as a protective heart disease supplement. It's unknown when this will be available. This is being sold as a 'TMAO management' supplement. It will likely reduce TMA levels in the human gut, which is great news for those who feel TMA is the sole source of their systemic malodor.
DMB is an alcohol naturally present in certain types of foods, such as 'extra virgin olive oil' and 'balsamic vinegar'. I have a feeling these foods will be bad for people with FMO3 issues.
Reasons :
1 : They are probably high in choline ? If you think TMA is the only source of your odor, then I presume taking high choline foods may be contra-indicative.
2 : They are probably full of FMO3 substrates (sulfides and amines) which might also cause malodor or feed malodor causing bacteria.
3 : Other vague reasons such as concern about acidity.
I tend to find I have a natural aversion to these type of foods, which I suspect is due to them being full of FMO3 sulfide/amines and maybe feeding bacteria that produce sulfide/amines. I had a go with the balsamic vinegar but after a week or 2 started getting migraines.
DMB pill :
Presumably the DMB pill will not have choline or the other FMO3 sulfides/amines, so I will certainly be trying that when it arrives.
FMO3 malodor :
As I always say, I do not think those with FMO3 issues have a problem solely with TMA, so I am always sceptical about something that may help only with TMA.

Olive oil is actually very low in choline.
thanks. didn't know that. how about balsamic vinegar ? that was what I tried
I tend to find I don't feel too good on 'healthy' foods for long. I suspect they might be full of fmo3 substrates. But I could be wrong. Olive oil i have bad memories from 'anti-candida' campaigns. ant the 'fruitier' they are, the worse.
are you trying the 'DMB diet' ?
Not really. I've tried to add olive oil into salads and foods. Unfortunately I have to watch my fat/calorie intake so four tablespoons of olive oil a day is more fat than a person is supposed to have in a day. The pill should be able to pull the DMB from the oil instead of ingesting all that fat.
Are you a doctor or researcher , because your article has no substance.
It's just my opinion as a community member
I have TMAU1, and after many years of trial and error with foods, I found that Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Oil does not make me smell. As Stephanie said it is low in choline. However, I cannot touch the balsamic vinegar, I guess it's because of the sulphites...
i find i didnt tolerate olive oil well. my own view is that FMO enzymes came about in the animal/plant warfare battle. Plants developing poisons and animals then developing enzymes to metabolize the poisons. in this case FMO's. FMOs seem to metabolize many plant compounds. I expect to have problems with 'potent' plant compounds. i could be wrong.
