Health Protocols
Homocysteine
Diet
- Decrease methionine containing foods. Methionine is the building block for homocysteine. Foods such as red meat and chicken are high methionine foods and have been shown to increase homocysteine.
- Eat much of your diet from green-leafy vegetables as these foods contain large quantities of B-vitamins which help to lower homocysteine
Lifestyle
- Control caffeine and alcohol intake as this has been linked to elevated homocysteine
- Certain medications may increase the production of homocysteine.
- Anti-epileptic medications
- Glucophage (metformin)
- Levodopa
- Methotrexate
- Niacin
- Fenofibrates
Supplements
- Homocysteine Factors - 2 Capsules twice daily. This formula contains B-vitamins and a specialty nutrient called Trimethylglycine. All of these nutrients work to turn homocysteine back into its harmless counterpart, methionine.
- Trimethylglycine (TMG) - 1500 mg twice daily in addition to the homocysteine factors.
- Zinc 20 mg - 1 Tablet Twice Daily. Zinc is a helper in the conversion of homocysteine back into methionine. Note: Check your multi-vitamin and aim for 40 mg of zinc daily including all supplements.
- N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) - 600 mg twice daily. NAC helps in the removal of excess homocysteine by enhancing its metabolism.
- SAMe 400 mg three time daily.
