I really like the sound of this product but I’m concerned about the B vitamins that are missing, namely B3 and B1. It also doesn’t have inositol, choline or biotin, although I don’t know how important they are. Would like to find a product that comprises of all the above to supplement what’s absent from the Homocysteine product but with low doses of what’s in the list below. Don’t want to overdo it
I hear some of you wondering why this product. Well, I like the idea of the trimethyglycine and the fact that the B6 is pyridoxal 5 phosphate. Also my husband is taking a high dose of B12 and likes the adeno/methyl combination and the high dose folate

I just recently did a deep dive and chose a B regimen based on the incredible info and experiences from the collective wisdom of our brilliant forum-mates!
No but when you consider all the supplements we have to take to maintain core nutrients, if I wasn’t careful about what I take then over the course of a week that’d be a hell of a lot
I can’t recall where but I seem to remember reading that plant cellulose can be antagonistic to the thyroid and as for wood pulp… just don’t fancy eating it
I like the Seeking Health brand and have been taking their Homocystex Plus for around 5 months.
I'm due a vitamin blood test shortly but to ensure I am at least getting some of the rest of the B vitamins that are missing from the Homocystex Plus I switch to Thorne Basic B for a couple of days a week.
I don’t have raised homocysteine but I have an inkling I may have a B12 deficiency or even PA, in which case if I ever do extensive testing for PA the homocysteine test will be negative. Not an immediate concern because I like the alleged benefits for the liver. My enzymes keep rising so I’m looking for something that may lower them and the morning discomfort I have in the liver region. Various investigations show a normal liver in every way but raised enzymes and discomfort don’t occur for no reason
Read the link. Really interesting. I have no idea about oxalates but I recognise what you say about stools. Keen to get started on both but I’ll start one thing at a time
My trouble is that I pinpoint an issue and research it intensely, once satisfied I decide on my route and then promptly forget most of the information I have gathered 🙃 but ticking off the issues one at a time seems to work for me 😅 It's so handy posting my journey on here as I can go back and remind myself
It’s always a good idea to research things to death but at the moment I haven’t the capacity to take in any more info
It’s clear my liver/gall bladder need help and looking into L glutathione and tudca seems relatively simple. The hardest task will probably be choosing the brand. Everyone seems to be selling it!
Tigger, I opted for the tudca and I’m honestly amazed. Three days after starting it, for the first time in years (apart from a week’s respite a few months ago) I have woken the last three mornings with absolutely no pain in the liver region. I’m incredulous that not only has it worked but in the shortest time. I’m not counting my chickens yet - but I will if I’m still pain-free in another week’s time - but I’m hopeful. I’ll leave it a few months before testing liver enzymes
So, a really big thank you for talking to me and recommending it
I’m utterly incredulous at the speed. And it wasn’t as though it was a gradual receding of the pain, it was just gone without warning. I wish I had known about this 15 years ago because I’m sure damage has been inflicted in that time
I do have MTHFR genes and am in a few groups of such people. I think the claims are accurate but if the problem is PA then B12 injections would be required to lower homocysteine.
