Hello again MrsD!
Hope all is well. How are the kitties?
Question about homocysteine levels. In an old response to me you mentioned I should get homocysteine levels checked. A few days after you said that to me, I did get them checked, and they were in normal range. They were 7.2 umol/L, and the expected range on this test was 6.0 - 15.0. The results said to keep below 10 in people with vascular disease (I do not have this, btw).
I'm curious. You said that this test would show whether or not I could properly methylate. Given I am in normal range, I should be methylating properly, correct? What exactly is methylating? How does this relate to folate, if at all? That same blood test also showed I had a folate level of >20.0 ng/mL (expected range is >7.2).
Thank you for your help. Thank you, also, for your help with glutathione questions. I haven't had a chance to read the information you found. I will this afternoon, though! Thank you thank you thank you!
