Inflammation
Homocysteine on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and what people usually do about it.
What it is
Homocysteine is an amino acid that builds up when the B vitamins that recycle it run short. High levels roughen artery walls and add to clot risk.
The range
TRT-aware target
Read against the lab range and the trend
How to read the lab range
Under 10 µmol/L is where people aim; labs accept up to 15.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Low folate, B12 or B6.
- MTHFR variants that slow folate use.
- Kidney function and coffee push it up a little.
What people usually do · not a recommendation
- Methylated B vitamins (folate, B12, B6) bring it down within weeks.
How Magno reads it
Import the PDF or a photo of the report and Magno finds Homocysteine on it, keeps every test on one line, shows the change since the last one, and reads it against TRT-aware thresholds rather than the lab's generic range. The panel it belongs to, Inflammation, gets a written verdict with the probable causes and what people usually do.

Questions people ask
Does homocysteine matter on TRT?
More than usual: a high hematocrit and a high homocysteine both add to clot risk, so people bring it down.
