I'm homozygous for MTR A2756G and MTRR A66G and have been supplementing mB12 and folinic acid for 3 months now. Is it possible that this lowered my homocysteine already by a lot??
I did not have the level tested before I started, had only the genome results and a plausible theory.
Had blood test last week: "Alert! Homocysteine is below 6. Reference value is 5 to 15."
The numbers came without an entity (such as mMol/l) and doctors assistant had no clue.
Can my methylation protocol have lowered my h. levels so significantly in that short period of time?
Could something siphoning my h. away? (I am heteroz. for one BHMT, one CBS, one MTR and two MTHFRs. A few others were non-called.)
I am really puzzled. I have stopped the folinic acid now because I do not feel very good on it. Just a hunch on which I trust my sensitive body... I do continue with the mB12 however.
(before the discussion starts: I did not have my level checked before hand because I couldn't get my tired body to the hospital nor could I face the stress of a needle. It was a conscious decision and a good one.)
