Homocysteine Metabolism in Balance
Lowering Homocysteine: Nutrition and Vitamins in Focus
Homocysteine is a natural intermediate product in amino acid metabolism. It is further processed or excreted with the help of enzymes and the vitamins B6, B12, and folate – meaning these micronutrients act as cofactors that help reduce homocysteine levels. If homocysteine levels remain elevated for a long time, it can have negative effects on health.
