Interesting to me.

"The most powerful and quickest way to restore a normal Hcy score, below 7 mcmol/l, if you’ve tested and found your level is above 10, is to supplement specific homocysteine-lowering nutrients. These include vitamins B6, B12, folic acid, trimethylglycine (TMG) and zinc, as well as glutathione or n-acetyl cysteine (NAC).

Combinations of these nutrients are especially effective because nutrients work together in synergy, not in isolation. One study found homocysteine scores were reduced by 17 per cent on high-dose folic acid alone, 19 per cent on vitamin B12 alone, 57 per cent on folic acid plus B12, and 60 per cent on folic acid, B12 and B6. All this was achieved

in three weeks!"

I found it interesting not instructional. Much of it is just general bla bla bla.

I treat my homocysteine by results and have never had my homocysteine tested as it was not available to me. I have since discovered that I can get it done privately by some companies. Thing is I would still go with results no matter what the levels came out to be. It does not take much study to understand that recommended levels other than toxicity are just a starting point and often useless I designing self treatment. It is not just the test for B12 that have flaws.

I have tried doing all these things and they do not work for me. My homocysteine is always above 40. The only way I have found to lower it into the teens (which is still high) is to avoid all folic acid. I wish it weren't so.

Thank you for sharing.

You have a rough row to hoe.
