Homocysteine Supreme 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Homocysteine is an amino acid that’s produced during the homocysteine metabolism process, a process that is a vital part of creating other amino acids and neurotransmitters. Amino acids are used in many bodily functions, including protein production and cardiovascular health. Neurotransmitters transmit nerve signals between your brain and the rest of your body.

If this delicate metabolism process is disrupted—most likely by a B vitamin deficiency, which vegans are especially susceptible to--the level of homocysteine in your body can rise and cause a disease known as hyperhomocysteinemia. This condition is linked to a number of conditions such as the hardening of arteries, blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes. Pregnant women are also at risk for birth defects, miscarriages, and potentially deadly pre-eclampsia. High levels of homocysteine in the blood can also damage the delicate arterial walls.

Fortunately, one of the best treatments for hyperhomocysteinemia is identical to the best method of prevention: vitamin supplements. Homocysteine Supreme™ contains a proprietary NatureFolate™ blend (made with folates superior to folic acid) used to promote the efficient metabolism of homocysteine. The combination of nutrients in this capsule is intended to lower homocysteine levels.

Studies have shown that the various B vitamins in Designs for Health’s Homocysteine Supreme™ are effective in lowering homocysteine levels. Vitamin B12 is particularly effective in this task, through converting homocysteine back into methionine (and starting the metabolism process over again). The B vitamins contained in this product also promote nervous system health and improved neurological function. While eating folate-packed foods like potatoes can help, supplementation may be an essential addition to your health arsenal.

Trimethylglycine (TMG) and N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC), additional ingredients in Homocysteine Supreme™, are also used to lower the levels of homocysteine. NAC is believed to displace homocysteine from its protein carrier, allowing it to be removed from the bloodstream.
