Homocysteine

I read 'Parkinsons Disease treatment guide for physicians' by Dr. J. Eric Ahlskog.He discusses use of the following:Folic acid 2.5 mg(I would prefer L-methyfolate), B6 25 mg ,B12 1 or 2 mg. I have the MTHFR mutation: compound heterozygosity c.665C.>T?1268A>C. This defect may lead to early arteriosclerotic vascular disease or venous thrombosis and toxicity from medications affecting folate metabolism. I have a homocysteine level on the high side of normal(three times the low level). This doctor gives his patients this vitamin combo because levodopa can cause high elevation of homocysteine is associated with the above diseases. Has anyone been prescribed this combo for PD by their neurologist or cardiologist? Which generic brand of Folbic or the others in this group contains

I am taking folbic for high homocysteine levels and am considering becoming pregnant. Is there any research on the effects of taking such high doses of folic acid while pregnant? My pharmacist informed me that Folbic contains about 6.5-7 times the dose of folic acid that is usually contained in a typical prenatal vitamin. Would there be any harm in just using a regular prenatal vitamin and putting the Folbic on hold until after the pregnancy? ## I took Foltx while pregnant and my pregnancy went fine. You have to take the higher dosages because your body is not able to absorb folic acid from food, so where a normal person can get folic acid from food and prenatal vitamins you can not. Also, high dosages of folic acid can deplete your B vitamins so you need the combination to replace what...

pls tell me taking vitamin B12 is benificial or harmful to heart dieases ## Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient that our bodies need. Studies have shown that it can help with heart disease, by lowering Homocysteine levels in the blood. Elevated levels have been directly associated with worsening heart disease. However, you can't go overboard with it and use more than what is directed, because the can be dangerous and cause other health problems. The studies mainly showed it to be of the most benefit, when coupled with Folic Acid, so that is another supplement you may want to consider adding. Are there any other questions?

My prescription is 1MG I want to make sure I have the right one. My pills are light yellow, and small. I just had a refill and they seem a little bigger.

210 on one side, scored on the other sie , with 1 G printed on it. ## Hi Blondie, The closest match I've been able to locate has the imprint "IG 210" rather than "1G 210". This pill also happens to be light yellow as opposed to pink. I'm only suggesting it as a possibility because of the lack of other probable options that this pill ID could be compared with. In any case, I've identified this scored yellow tablet as Folic Acid (1 mg); manufactured by InvaGen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

First, you need to find out why you are getting the clots especially if it does not have to do with an injury. I had two episodes of clots on my lungs and God left me here. The hospital did not want to do testing to find out why I was getting clots, there were no injuries. First they put me on coumadine, made me sick, skin turned gray, muscle weakness, boils under the skin, then xareltosimiliar side effects. My doctor did a MHTFR (methyl deficiency) which is b12 folate or colbanim deficiency and a genetic factor which may have caused my mother's heart attack at 50. Google this look at family history request, no demand the blood work up, insurance pays also homocysteine levels, important, if high may me causing you problems. Second Google nattokinase and serrapeptase, natural blood t...

i am a type 2 diabetic and I also have MS. My doctor prescribed metanx but it is too exspensive so is there an alternative. ## Go to swansonvitamins.com Folate $4.99, methylcobalamin sublingual $9.99 two month supply, P-5-P b6 around $6 about a 2 month supply. You need the b's in this active form and a bottle of TMG helps convert it over for $4.49. You should consider getting tested for MTHFR which metanx is used to treat. It has a huge connection to MS. I no longer have the lesions after an MTHFR protocol. Check out mthfr.net and mthfrsupport.com These forms of b's help break down homocysteine in the body. Many people on oral diabetic medication that have neuropathy have MTHFR. Drugs such as metaformin reduce active b's in people and with MTHFR you are already working on po...
