How Do You Get Tested for Tmau

A urine test is used to diagnose trimethylaminuria. The person’s urine is tested to look for higher levels of trimethylamine. Testing can be done by giving choline by mouth followed by urine collection a certain number of times over a 24 hour period.

Can you develop TMAU?

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.

What supplements can I take for TMAU?

Activated charcoal and copper chlorophyllin are recommended dietary supplements for TMAU sufferers [121].
