I was on a low carb diet until Dec '05, have been on the diet for about 7 months. Now, two months later I'm still suffering from high homocysteine levels (50% increased). Does anyone here has some experience with supplements that help to normalize homocysteine levels?

Personally I'm considering the new Ortho-methyl from AOR:

Or a similar product from allergyresearchgroup/nutricology:

I guess the last one has too much B12 and not enough TMG, especially when taking 2 or 3 pills a day. The Ortho-Methyl from AOR in my opinion is the more advanced product, what do you think?

Dayfly-

Why do you think 400mcg of cyanocobalamin is too much B12?

I wonder why Ortho-Methyl doesn't come capped up. I wonder if they would suggest that I not cap it myself.

The reason I ask is because it is inconvenient to take powders to work. I'd rather take capsules at work.

I do not agree with AOR's aproach to B vitamins.

If you take e.g. a B-50 and an extra 800 mcg of folic acid that will normalize the homocysteine in many people. If that does not work then one can add e.g. TMG, etc

NAC also decreases homocysteine.

do what scott said... but add .5-1mg sublingual methylcobalamin
