Betaine Supplementation Lowers Plasma Homocysteine $BlogItemSubject"; $newslink[$countera]="http://www.medjournal.com/blog/archives/2002_11_01_nutritionarchive.php#85668053"; ?>
This study found that supplementation with betaine at 6 g/d slightly decreased plasma homocysteine levels. Comment: an excellent overview of the relationship between heart disease and homocysteine can be found HERE. At this point, it seems that daily supplementation with a multivitamin containing at least 200 ug of folate is a reasonable strategy to reduce plasma homocysteine levels. The use of betaine is an interesting, but still experimental, intervention. [ AJCN -- Abstracts: Schwab et al. 76 (5): 961]   posted at 1:59 PM by Tom Heston, MD
