I'm a bit concerned about my homocysteine level, which is currently at 29.9. Is this considered normal, or should I be worried? What could be causing it to be so high? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Homocysteine level of 29.9 is considered high. Possible causes of increased homocysteine levels include vitamin deficiencies (B6, B12, and folate), kidney disease, hypothyroidism, psoriasis, certain medications (such as methotrexate), and genetic factors. To lower homocysteine levels, you can consider taking medications like folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. The recommended dosage of folic acid is usually 400-800 mcg per day, vitamin B6 is 1.3-1.7 mg per day, and vitamin B12 is 2.4 mcg per day.
