To maintain healthy homocysteine levels
Excess homocysteine in the bloodstream can damage the lining of arterial walls, making them narrow and inelastic. Research suggests that high homocysteine levels are an independent risk factor for hardening of the arteries, coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and other conditions associated with abnormal blood clotting. High homocysteine levels are also linked to several other serious medical conditions, including depression, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, spontaneous abortion, placental abruption, neural tube defects (spina bifida, cleft palate, etc.), kidney failure, and type 2 diabetes.
When homocysteine is elevated, it reduces nitric oxide (NO) production, which can increase the risk of hypertension and erectile dysfunction. The synergistic nutrients included in Homocysteine Supreme™ enable efficient homocysteine metabolism and prevent the accumulation of toxic homocysteine levels. Homocysteine Supreme allows the homocysteine pathway (which begins with methionine) to flow smoothly in all directions and yield its necessary and important end products, including the sulfur-containing amino acids taurine and cysteine, as well as the neurotransmitters epinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin.
