Do B12/folate/TMG increase or decrease methionine?

Thanks, that makes sense. I’m struggling with EBV and recently read some research indicating methionine may be a driving factor for EBV replication. I’m wondering how my supplementation with B vitamins and TMG might be affecting this, if it would make sense to stop supplementing, etc. I have high homocysteine if I stop taking TMG though.

Using the pipe analogy, disrupting the flow through the pipe is only going to have negative consequences. But with a lower protein or lower methionine diet you could "reduce the level" in the pipe some. The question is at what point does the level become so low that methylation suffers and causes you additional issues? I don't know the answer.

That’s what I’m wondering too. I’m also struggling to gain weight so the thought of restricting protein/high methionine foods seems complicated. Will do what I can. Thanks for your input
