Homocysteine is made in the body as the result of protein metabolism. In healthy individuals, homocysteine build-up is prevented by either the conversion of homocysteine back to the amino acid methionine or into the harmless compound, cystathionine. Vitamin B6 – needed for conversion of homocysteine into cystathionine. Studies show those with low blood levels of B6 are five times more likely to have a heart attack. Vitamin B12 and folic acid – deficiencies in these nutrients lead to high homocysteine levels. These important B vitamins act as methyl donors to facilitate the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine. Suitable for vegans.
