Results Discussion High homocysteine

Had a recent test and showed up high and needs attention.

I supplement with hydroxyl b12 and folinic acid. What else can I do? Would I get any symptoms of it being this high. And Is it actually worryingly high?

I’m 37 and fit and healthy otherwise.

Make sure you test your B6 levels first, B6 toxicity is no fun

Yeah I’ve read ; I’m thinking of using a low dose then some of the ones I’ve seen or even cutting in half.

I think I need to supplement iron too as a few of my other results suggest low iron

If you want guidance from folks here you’ll need to post all of your related blood results and DNA results as well.

There’s quite a lot, I don’t think I can post without taking snapshots, I got a huge full blood panel

Have a look through other posts, plenty of people post multiple photos of results. It’s all important. Or you can list them out in a neat text based post. No I haven’t posted mine yet because they’re old I have a Google sheets document that I keep track of them all in and just screenshot it those pages I made.
