A new study shows that healthy people1 can take higher levels of B vitamins to prevent the initial formation of plaque in their arteries. It is now well recognized that elevated blood levels of the sulfur-containing amino acid Building blocks of peptides and protein and have multiple roles of function in life including muscle function, growth, detoxification and metabolic pathways, and neurotransmitter function. homocysteine It is a homologue of the amino acid cysteine that is synthesized from methionine An essential amino acid which serves as a methyl donor and is involved with the biosynthesis of other nutrients. Improper conversion is associated with production of homocysteine and atherosclerosis. which requires adequate Folic Acid, B12, and B6 to function properly. Elevated levels have been associated with heart disease, thrombosis, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, and other disorders. are associated with increased risk for coronary artery disease and stroke. Homocysteine is naturally made by your liver and is then metabolized be various B vitamins such as folic acid, B12, and B6. Thus, a lack of B vitamins is a problem for anyone as they grow older. The normal levels for homocysteine It is a homologue of the amino acid cysteine that is synthesized from methionine An essential amino acid which serves as a methyl donor and is involved with the biosynthesis of other nutrients. Improper conversion is associated with production of homocysteine and atherosclerosis. which requires adequate Folic Acid, B12, and B6 to function properly. Elevated levels have been associated with heart disease, thrombosis, strokes, Alzheimer's disease, and other disorders. are set at 5 – 15 micromoles per liter. This study shows that humans whose number is 9 or more greatly benefit from folic acid, B12, and B6 to prevent the initial stages of hardening of the arteries.
