Homocysteine Nutrients - 60 Capsules | Seeking Health
HomocysteX Plus provides the 5 nutrients your body requires for optimal methylation. This unique formula supports the body’s normal homocysteine breakdown for heart health support.
HomocysteX Plus by Seeking Health supplies bioactive forms of four essential B vitamins along with betaine (TMG). These nutrients synergistically support healthy methylation and homocysteine metabolism.
Methylation is a critical process in your body. It is responsible for genetic expression, breaking down homocysteine, and many more vital biochemical functions. Over 50% of the population has an MTHFR genetic mutation. This can slow down methylation in your body. A slowed methylation cycle can lead to elevated homocysteine levels. That’s because proper methylation is required to break down and clear homocysteine.
Several studies link high homocysteine levels with an increased risk of heart and blood flow problems. Amongst other ways, homocysteine increases cardiovascular risk by damaging the lining of the arteries, which may promote excessive blood clotting. Elevated homocysteine levels have also been associated with cognitive and brain issues. Proper neurotransmitter metabolism relies on maintaining optimal methylation function as well.
Homocysteine breakdown requires the enzymes in your methylation pathway to be working properly. These enzymes need specific nutrients as “coenzymes” to make them run effectively. HomocysteX Plus supplies the nutrient coenzymes needed by your methylation enzymes. These bioactive forms (listed in brackets) are efficiently utilized and well-tolerated by the body.
