The question is why are you trying to control or lower homocysteine? Do you have homocysteinemia (elevated Hcy levels)?
Folate will also reduce Hcy levels.

Taking extra methionine will actually elevate Hcy. This is how they determine a supplements effects on Hcy...they provide a methionine load after the supplement has been taken and absorbed. Extra dietary Met (that is not used in protein synthesis) eventually is converted to Hcy...
Met <--> Hcy

and having too much Met will push the reaction in the Hcy direction.

Thank you – let me provide some additional information.
I am almost certain I am (very) under-methylated. I believe my histimine levels are very high.

To address this I will be taking TMG, GABA, P-5-P, Tyrosine, Folinic Acid, MethylB12, Creatine, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Zinc, Methionine, and Magnesium. I want to avoid driving my homocysteine up, thus the addition of things like Foliniv Acid, MethylB12, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.

You may want to keep away from chlorogenic acid and glycocyamine as well.

Thank you.

I know Green Coffe Bean has chlorogenic acid, and I assume regular coffee has it as well. Now then, regular coffee is my one remaining vice (don't drink, smoke, no drugs, etc.). so I may have to just live with some downside - I guess I have to pick my poison.

Coffee is actually fantastic for health. The elevation in homocysteine may not actually be causative of pathology.

As with everything in life...anything in excess tends to bring a downside. Like Coop stated, coffee has many positive health benefits.
 
I agree bubba. It's the whole smell/taste package I love.
