DMG History

FoodScience, the parent company of Mountain Naturals, has always been a family-owned company. Started by the Orlandis in the 1960's, they were using Dimethyglycine, or DMG, to increase stamina and endurance in racehorses. They also began discovering its benefits in people when the Orlandi family started taking DMG for their own health challenges.

The Orlandis gathered and translated the research conducted by the Danish, Russians, and Japanese, and filed for US patents based on that research. They saw a niche and decided to market the product to benefit others.

Since FoodScience was incorporated in 1973, it has offered a variety of supplements for both humans and animals, including DMG. Since that time, we have also learned more about the benefits of DMG. Dr. Roger Kendall has long been an advocate of DMG, and has continued to research the benefits of this unique nutrient.

DMG is a water-soluble nutrient that occurs naturally within the body. It is similar in structure to B vitamins, and was first known as Vitamin B15. It has been studied for its ability to modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and reduce lactic acid levels, to name a few. It has also been popularly used for neurological disorders such as seizures and autism.

The autism community has embraced DMG as a helpful nutrient. The letters we receive from around the country are incredible. Here is one of many:

My daughter is 5 years old and has been diagnosed with autism. She has been on DMG for a year, and the results have been wonderful. When we started her out on the DMG, she was a very frustrated little girl. She would scream and yell at the top of her lungs. She would not let you touch her, she would not look at your face, would not socialize with others, including her sister, uncles, grandparents and myself. Her sleep patterns were outrageous. She would go to bed at all hours and not sleep through the night. Her attention span was that of 3-5 minutes at home and pre-school. If something were out of the ordinary, like her schedule being disrupted, she would immediately begin to scream. This was so very hard for her to adjust to. We started her out on 2 tablets of 125 milligram DMG just to see if it made a difference, and the results were amazing. She began to talk, pay attention, respond, play with her sister, and show affection towards others. Her teachers said it was such a differences they thought she might be on Ritalin. I was quick to inform them that it was NOT Ritalin! She is now taking 5 of the 125 milligram tablets daily, and is doing wonderfully. She is potty trained, is pre-reading, spelling words, signing words, and playing with her sister. Her emotional side has also come out. She is concerned when someone is hurt. And is showing emotion when she misses someone. She is showing compassion for others. Her sleep patterns have become regular. She is in bed at 8:00 pm and sleeps till 6 or 7 am. When she has been thrown a curve ball in her schedule, she does not act out as she use to. She seems to take it with a grain of salt. This is a totally different child that I’ve dealt with this last year. The changes have all been for the good. I can’t tell you how grateful we are for DMG. I just wish that others might know of this to help their children.
Sincerely appreciative in Idaho
