Homocysteine is a critical molecule in the body. We don’t want too much, and we don’t want too little. Measuring levels is a simple blood test.

Homocysteine is involved in:

• Cell division
• DNA and RNA synthesis
• CNS development
• Gene expression (or non-expression)
• Immune cell differentiation
• Neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism
• Histamine clearance
• Detoxification
• Hormone balancing
• Cellular energy metabolism
• Myelination of peripheral nerves (proximate cause of Multiple Sclerosis)

Elevated homocysteine is linked to:

1. Heart attack
2. Stroke
3. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT)
4. Cancer
5. Dementia
