Solgar Gold Specifics Homocysteine Modulators is an advanced multi-nutrient and herbal supplement. Homocysteine is made in the body as the result of protein metabolism. In healthy individuals, homocysteine build-up is prevented by either the conversion of homocysteine back to the amino acid methionine or into the harmless compound, cystathionine. The conversion of homocysteine to methionine is dependent upon an adequate supply of methyl groups. These methyl groups are found in certain nutrients (eg. folic acid, B12 and trimethylglycine), which can act as methyl donors. The conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine is dependent upon vitamin B6. Research has shown that elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood may significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and age-related cognitive disorders.
