Description
If there is a shortage of methyl groups, or the methylation cycle is interrupted, any or all of these processes can become compromised and homocysteine levels rise. Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and thrombosis. Evidence exists linking elevated Hcy levels and Alzheimer’s disease and to increased fractures in elderly persons. Also circulating total homocysteine (tHcy) may be used as a more accurate tumor marker for monitoring cancer patients during treatment, and Hyperhomocysteinemia as a risk factor for carcinogenesis.
Cautions and Contraindications:
Use away from serotonin enhancing substances such as 5-HTP and L-Tryptophan.
