Hello welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
High home cysteine levels have Longterm deleterious effects on heart and brain. So, controlling it in early age is beneficial.
My advice to you is -

1.You should take vitamin B tab along with folic acid. E. g. - tab homocheck. I have found good results with this combination. Still prescription is required, so ask your doctor about that.

2.Eat green leafy vegetables, fruits, less oily diets and fried foods are recommended. Daily brisk walking for 1 hr is beneficial.

3.Check Homocysteine levels 3 months after starting this treatment.

Thank you.
Have a nice day.
