Longevity & Aging

Homocysteine

Homocysteine is a byproduct of methionine metabolism, and when it builds up, it becomes a pro-aging, pro-inflammatory compound. High levels are linked to cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s risk, blood vessel damage, and even fertility issues. It’s heavily influenced by your B-vitamin status — especially B6, B12, and folate. If you’re thinking about brain, heart, or longevity optimization, this is a quiet but powerful marker to watch.
