Looking through Larry's old posts (and using JLx's suggestion of bulk purchase at BeyondACentury), he claims that the dosage for TMG is 1-8 grams per day. He could tolerate no more than 1 gram a day so best to start out slow. I don't see where he gave any amounts for B12 or folate. The TMG itself in bulk form at BAC would run $6.50 for 150 grams. Even once you add in tax, shipping and some B vitamins, it's a hell of a lot cheaper (and probably safer) than SAM-e.K
