Homocysteine Test

Discovering your own homocysteine level is an important health check. Raised levels of homocysteine have been implicated in the development of heart disease and strokes in older people. Increased levels have also been linked to:

• Alzheimer's
• Migraine
• Dementia
• Declining Memory
• Poor Concentration
• Low Mood
• Male & Female Infertility

Between 10-15% of the population has a genetic defect contributing to raised homocysteine levels.  You are more likely to be at risk if you are overweight, take little or no exercise, smoke or drink alcohol excessively. Learn more about the risks here

The good news is that raised homocysteine levels can usually be brought back to normal levels by simple dietary changes and / or supplementation with B vitamins. Understanding your current level and the implication of this on your health is important in understanding how to make improvements to your wellbeing.
