Additional notes

"I take 200mg split between breakfast and lunch. If I skip it enough days in a row, I notice it. This was a good lever for me. "

1.00 Softgel

Additional notes

"This is a superior Triglyceride formula. It absorbs much better than other fish oil. A total of 2 capsules per day, split between breakfast and lunch. Feed your mitochondria a source of energy, support your cellular membranes, and keep your eyes lubricated. If you're sensitive to fish oil, there is Flax oil you can find. For people with high demands, a higher amount of EPA/DHA Omega 3s is going to be better to stabilize energy levels and support mitochondria than just eating flax seeds and fish. I started every 3 days taking just one capsule because I was sensitive to the energy changes it gave me. Now I am very well adjusted to it and probably can't do without! "

1.00 Capsule

morning

Take with food

Additional notes

"If you are not very stable this might be overstimulating. I tried it and stopped because it gave me way too much energy. It was only after I stabalized with some minerals and other supplements that I could have this, and then it improved my baseline without overstimulating me. I need L-Methionine with it to help the methylation process be complete and to reduce the risk of overstimulation. "

Additional notes

"I also get extra L-methionine from my collagen peptides. This is a critical supplement for me, relating to my MTRR gene. "

Additional notes

"For motility support and more mast cell stabilization support, and pain relief, I take a quality ginger tea. Can be this or other. I actually use Traditional Medicinals and aim to buy ginger root tea in bulk from a local supplier. I steep for 5-6 minutes and drink at the end of my lunch to help stimulate my bowels and improve circulation, too. Do not take if on blood thinners or have any other contraindications. "

1.00 Chewable

once per day

Take with empty stomach

As needed

Additional notes

"I take this up to 3x a day. 400mg of Licorice root with the bad stuff take nout so it doesn't raise blood pressure. I use it whenever I have heartburn, belching that won't stop, stomach discomfort, and event sometimes cramps. It also acts on H2 receptors. I use it a lot less now, but I will never be without it because it works well for me, working better for me than Famotidine which only supresses stomach acid and interferes with nutrient absorption in long term use. I still use Famotidine as prescribed to me for MCAS rescue, thankfully I now don't need to use rescue medication as often. "

1/2 Tablespoon (tbsp)

twice per day

Additional notes

"Collagen Peptides do contain a little bit of histidine. I have brief, self terminating reactions when I introduced this, and so I keep my dose small and up to 2-3x a day. With ample water and with food or a fat (like some coconut milk in the water). The Glycine in this is really good for the guts. It helps a lot. As I got more stable, I can take more. I actually take up to 1tbsp a day, spread out into 2-3 dosages. The typical serving is 4 tablespoons. When I am stable and on my mast cell stabalizers and have had DAO with my meals, I don't react at all. Go low and slow if you think you can introduce it. Everyone's situation is different. Collagen naturally has the amino acid histidine in it. "

Additional notes

"Hemp seeds are rich in magnesium and many other minerals. Even though I take hemp protein powder in the morning, I take hemp seeds with my next two meals to ensure I am keeping my mineral uptake going. I don't absorb them well, so if you are having normal mineral levels, you maybe don't need to be as rigorous about minerals in food as I need to be. "

1/2 Tablespoon (tbsp)

Additional notes

"I soak overnight in 4oz of coconut milk and add to my oatmeal. This is to help me with minerals, I intend to slowly work up to 1tbsp and see how I do. "

2.00 Capsules

Ongoing

Additional notes

"Double check with a doctor! I take this because it helped stop a lot of my belching and gas! Sometimes I take only 1 with a meal, but I take at least 1, up to 2 with every single meal! I consider this a requirement in my situation in order to eat and optmize my digestion. Do not take this more than 15 minutes before a meal. Combined with DAO, this has helped me a lot with histamine intolerance and sensitive mast cells in my guts. "

0.13 Teaspoon (tsp)

once per day

Take with water

As needed

Additional notes

"This is something that requires careful measuring. I actually use 1/16 to 1/8th of a tsp in at least 12oz of water with 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of sea salt to make an electrolyte drink if needed. Everyone's electrolyte needs are different. Consult your doctor. "

Additional notes

"I actually just use Morton's non-iodized finely ground sea salt in my food, water between meals, and as electrolyte mixes with potassium chloride. "

1/8 Tablespoon (tbsp)

morning

Take with food

Ongoing

Additional notes

"Choline can cause constipation, go low and slow! IIt can be so powerful. It really helps my cognition, energy, and supports my skin. 1/8 of a tablespoon is about 250mg of added phosphatadyl choline. If you have higher dietary demands for choline, this will help. Do not take this at night, it will give you energy and cause insomnia. Check with a doctor if you're not sure. Choline was a big lever for me, and I'm so glad I finally took the plunge and started it! "

1.00 Tablespoon (tbsp)

once per day

Additional notes

"You will need to do some math to figure out how much you need to take. MCTs can upset your stomach. I would do 1/16 of a TSP to start, and introduce it in slowly. In oatmeal, in tea, in warm water, in smoothies. "

2.00 Capsules

Take with water

As needed

Additional notes

"This is one of my strategizing for binding candida die off metabolites. Do not take within 2 hours of medicines, suppliments. Best on an empty stomach with water. "
