What is Homocysteine?

Homocysteine is an amino acid, found normally in the body and its metbolism is especially linked to Folic acid / Vit B12 / Vit. B6

Homocysteine as Risk Factor in Diabetic Patients

	Homocysteine appears to be a stronger risk factor for mortality in diabetic patients than in non diabetic.

	Homocysteine is independently associated with the prevalence of diabetic neuropathy.

Homocysteine as Risk Factor in Cardiovascular Patients

	Homocysteine can damage arterial walls, leading to atheroslerosis.

	Both cardiovascular and al-zaheimer's diseases have been linked to the accumulation of homocysteine.

	An increase in plasma total homocysteine level confers an independent risk of vascular diseases, similar to that of smoking or hyper-lipidemia.

	The risk of developing peripheral vascular diseases was found to be almost seven times higher among people with elevated homocysteine levels.

	Folic acid, Vit B12, and B6 optimize homocysteine metabolism and normalize plasma homocysteine level within 4-6 weeks.
	This supplementation improves vascular endothelial function in patients with coronary heart disease.
	The consumption of folic acid and B12 is one of the most effective anti-aging therapies.
