Solgar Homocysteine Modulators

High homocysteine levels are considered to be a causative factor for heart disease, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and Alzheimer's disease.

These modulators contain vital nutrients needed to reduce homosysteine levels.

Solgar® Gold Specifics® Homocysteine Modulators for the maintenance of normal homocysteine levels.

Homocysteine is a harmful amino acid produced in the body. Normally the body rapidly converts homocysteine into a harmless substance called cystathionine. But smoking, getting older, running short of B vitamins and drinking too much tea or coffee may reduce our ability to keep homocysteine in our blood within the normal range.

Some scientists now believe that maintaining homocysteine within the normal range helps maintain a healthy heart and arteries.

Researchers have found that the body maintains normal homocysteine levels when there are sufficient B vitamins, such as folic acid and vitamin B12, in the daily diet, as these vitamins are used in the biochemical pathways that break down homocysteine.

Increased homocysteine levels may also be a risk factor for the development of many conditions including heart disease, stroke, thromboembolism (blood clots that can dislodge and cause stroke, heart attack, and other complications), osteoporosis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and Alzheimer's disease.
