Hi Jr,

A three supplement combination of vitamin B6 as P5P, folate and vitamin B12 are a very good way to significantly lower high homocysteine levels. Here is a typical dosing range you can discuss with your doctor :

1. B6 As P5P - 5 – 25 mg / day

2. Folate as Methylfolate - 800–1000 mcg / day

3. B12 In the Methylcobalamin form ~20–500 mcg / day

In the alternative and for simplicity you can consider a vitamin B complex supplement that utilizes these three specific forms of these supplements in one supplement to discuss with your doctor. These B Complex forms are generally referred to as a "Methylated B Complex".

These complexes should be quite useful for lowering homocysteine levels as you have indicated you are interested in doing.

Trimethylglycine is made to lower and High homocysteine levels are usually the culprit in idiopathic high blood pressure.
