TMAO: What We We Eat And What’s Eating Us

A remedy for the production of TMAO other than avoidance of foods, largely animal based, that are high in the substrates for TMAO, is unclear. To date, no probiotic has been shown to halt TMAO production. An inhibitor of TMAO production, DMB, has been described in animal studies but the safety and efficacy in humans will need further study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26699388).
