Homocysteine Factors by Pure Encapsulations contains the vitamins needed to help support normal homocysteine levels, which is important for heart health. Homocysteine is an amino acid, that needs to be broken down by vitamins B12, B6 and folate to create other chemicals your body needs. When levels of homocysteine are too high, it can affect the health of your heart, increasing the risk of heart attacks and stroke. High levels have also been linked to an increased risk of dementia.

B vitamins, especially folate, are important for helping the body to optimally methylate which is the process that breaks down and gets rid of homocysteine. For example, it converts folic acid to folate which is the active form the body can use. Some people have a genetic mutation that makes it more difficult to break down homocysteine. Homocysteine Factors provides all the nutrients needed for homocysteine metabolism, in their most active forms.
