My blood homocysteine level is high at 42 umol/L. What medications or supplements can I take to help lower and control it?

Asked by Male, 55 · 7 hours ago

A homocysteine level of 42 ?mol/L is elevated, but it is very manageable. The most effective way to lower it is by supplementing with specific B vitamins, as deficiencies are the most common cause. You should consider taking Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), Vitamin B9 (folic acid or methylfolate), and Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Sometimes, a supplement called betaine (TMG) is also suggested. I highly recommend consulting your doctor to check your baseline vitamin levels. This will help determine the exact dosages you need. Please do not worry, as this is a very common issue that typically responds well to these simple dietary supplements.
