In some cases, people may develop secondary trimethylaminuria from large doses of trimethylamine or products that trigger trimethylamine production. This type of the condition can occur when the FMO3 enzyme in the liver becomes unable to break down the excess quantities of trimethylamine.
How do I get rid of trimethylamine?
The use of slightly acidic soaps and body lotions can convert trimethylamine on the skin into a less volatile form that can be removed by washing. If the disorder is acquired due to excessive doses of L-carnitine, choline or lecithin, symptoms disappear with reduction of dosage.
