WHAT IT MEASURES
Your body turns homocysteine into other useful molecules using folate, B6 and B12. Low B vitamins let it build up.
WHY IT MATTERS
High homocysteine is linked to heart disease, stroke and memory decline.
WHEN TO RETEST
Every three months while you top up B vitamins.
WHAT MOVES IT
Five levers, ranked.
Based on clinical evidence. Your clinician picks the ones that fit you.
Leafy greens
Folate from spinach, kale and beans.
B12 sources
Fish, eggs, dairy or a supplement.
Less alcohol
It depletes B vitamins.
Stop smoking
Smoking raises homocysteine.
B complex, if needed
