How to decrease homocysteine levels there are high because of genetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elevated homocysteine is often associated with MTHFR genetic profiles in younger age groups, and the TT alleles can be especially troublesome. Since there can be resulting strokes, heart attacks, and dementia, it is indeed prudent to lower your levels ASAP. There are "Medical Foods", which are prescription items, and it is likely that your doctor could prescribe one of these.
