To maintain healthy homocysteine levelsExcess homocysteine in the bloodstream can damage the lining of artery 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 a number of 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 II diabetes. When homocysteine is elevated, it reduces the production of nitric oxide (NO), which can increase the risk of hypertension and erectile dysfunction. The synergistic nutrients included in Homocysteine Supreme™ allow for the efficient metabolism of homocysteine and prevent the accumulation of toxic levels of homocysteine. 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 amino acids taurine and cysteine, and the neurotransmitters epinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin.
