Description: Homocysteine is a negative factor in unbalanced cholesterol levels and it is an indicator of increased risk for heart attack. While normal levels of homocysteine help build and maintain body tissues, too much homocysteine causes blood platelets to clump together and damage the lining of arteries, leading to heart attacks and strokes. It has been found that specific B Vitamins, in the correct ratios, are essential for maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels and for a healthy functioning heart. Natural Factors Homocysteine Formula is designed to provide the "right balance and amounts" of Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 and B12 to bring the levels down.

High homocysteine levels are also suspected in Alzheimer’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.
