I think externally managing my methylation is non-optimal. I got into the undermethylation range yesterday evening, because I took a big amount of niacinamide. I needed a small dose of TMG to get to sleep, because I was so hot and awake due to high histamine levels.
I don‘t think that micromanaging is really the way to go.
I‘ll try Chris Masterjohn‘s Methylation Protocol:
I. Get 3-5 mg of riboflavin (to support any possible defects of MTFHR-genes)
II. Get 100% of RDI of folate via diet
III. Double the choline intake (1000mg)
IV. Increase glycine intake (1g of collagen protein per 5g of total protein intake; glycine is the universal internal methyl-buffer according to Chris)
V. Increase creatine intake to 3-5g (1-2 lbs of ground beef)
Of course I will try to avoid copper-rich foods in the meanwhile, because they flare my symptoms big time. I am even thinking about getting some pure glycine powder, because it would be more cost-efficient than collagen.
Yes. I was taking 4500mg of NAM yesterday spread across the day and the last 500mg felt like too much.Yeh thats a good sign you may be pushing it with demethylating too much. Its definitely the right move to back off such high doses of niacinamide.
Update:
Zincbisglycinate - 25mg
Magnesium - 900mg
Thiamin HCL - 2 grams
Niacinamide - 3 grams
Vitamin D3 - 8000 IU
Vitamin K2 - 360mcg
Boron - 9mg
Omega-3s - 1500mg of combined EPA/DHA
Feeling really good on this. I really seem to need zinc supplementation on a daily basis. I tried going a few days without it and my digestion and mental stability got much worse. Maybe I‘m just not that good at absorbing it due to my late diagnosis of celiac and the life-long IBS. Zinc supplementation, but not from whole foods seem to have fixed my chronic watery diarrhea.
I definitely feel the „benefits“ of being slightly histadelic at the moment - having a lot of energy, a high libido, high motivation, always feeling warm, higher pulse, feeling much more social due to crushed anxiety, having better verbal fluency and more organization in my life, taking more risk and leaving the comfort zone more often.
I don‘t know if it‘s due to my changed personality or lifestyle, but lately I got tons of girls requesting my phone number (and not the other way around of me asking the girl) after just talking for a few minutes with them.
Been dating a lot, meeting beautiful women and generally just feeling like being liked by so many people, not just girls. Maybe it‘s just the positive energy that I am vibrating, having fun and being humorous.
Thanks for the explanation. I don‘t need my mind-baffling 4.5 grams of niacinamide anymore to feel normal and I think this is because of the zinc supplement. I think I can reduce the amount of B3 over time. I‘ve read in Dr. Pfeiffer‘s Book on Methylation, that overmethylation can be corrected in roughly 6 months, and the symptoms can be greatly alleviated.If you need zinc, it will positively affects most neurotransmitters, dopamine especially but also Ach, gaba, etc. High dopamine will make people more drawn to you. Lust is driven by testosterone. My guess is your T is significantly higher from raising histamine, zinc supplement (especially because you were copper overloaded for some time) and the other things you take. Thus women are asking for your number now instead of the other way around. Of course your increase confidence and reduced anxiety is also partly why but its all connected anyway (testosterone, dopamine, histamine, increased energy affecting behavior).
Just be careful not to demethylate too much with all that niacinamide. Eventually it can hurt you as too much undermethylation is heavily inflammatory, thus you may feel the need for more zinc (as it is anti-inflammatory). But also I dont know how long it will take to detox the excesses of copper or at least reverse its manifestation (symptoms).

What is your opinion on ascorbic acid for OM? I‘ve seen it being recommend in most protocols for OM. Dr. Hoffer‘s protocol recommends 3 x 1g of B3 + ascorbic acid each per day.
I think about dropping vitamin D altogether because it seems to cause some sort of mineral dysregulation - like don‘t tolerating much calcium at all anymore, as it seems to cause bladder pain (potential hypercalcuria?), slight joint pain, tight muscles and anxiety/nervousness. This seems to correct after taking a big dose of⁹ magnesium.
Interesting @redsun !
Dr. Pfeiffer thinks that copper excess is at the root of overmethylation. But yes, I think there are different opinions on the topic of methylation, some say that histamine levels are not an accurate indicator of the state of methylation, while others base their methylation framework on it.
I‘ll drop the vitamin D for now. In the past I also had trouble with vitamin D3, but those symptoms resolved with adequate vitamin A supplementation somehow.
I took my latest vitamin D dose today morning and felt really cold, tensed and irritable afterwards. I came back from work for a break, intuitively took a big dose of magnesium bisglycinate and felt somewhat better. Then finally came home from work and felt like taking 50K IU of topical A on my forearms and in 15 min I felt really warm, relaxed, with enhanced blood flow, happy mood and got random erections. (lol) Also felt in the mood for some random mirror flexing. (double lol)
Not planning on taking it long-term, but I just remembered from multiple times where I felt really bad from oral or topical vitamin D and a big dose of A would bring me into equilibrium again.
Once a month! Interesting! I guess that proves that metabolism trumps training stress/adaptations.currently training once a month but keeping calories high (4000 calories) + high carb (650g+) medium protein (200g) low fat (40g) + pro-metabolic supplements.
I‘d like to train more frequently, but I don‘t find enough time for it at the moment. I am working a full time job + part-time job, which is very time-consuming and in my free time I prefer to do fun stuff with my friends. So it‘s partly a matter of priority than absolute lack of time.Once a month! Interesting! I guess that proves that metabolism trumps training stress/adaptations.
Any particular reason for such low training frequency?
Gotcha, makes sense. There are more important things to do than lifting...especially if you can maintain muscle mass without it!I‘d like to train more frequently, but I don‘t find enough time for it at the moment.

Looking decent! Mirin the insertions on your arms.View attachment 27368Quick physique update. - currently training once a month but keeping calories high (4000 calories) + high carb (650g+) medium protein (200g) low fat (40g) + pro-metabolic supplements.
Thanks man. Will definitely train more frequent once I get out of the current quarantine. After that I'll get a certificate for being "recovered from COVID" and then I can train at the gym without testing each time. Will do a upper-lower split 3-4 times a day probably.Looking decent! Mirin the insertions on your arms.
Would definitely try to train at least once a week?
