A member asked:
My homocystine levels are 52 i have read that high homocystine levels damage lining of arteries is homocystine level of 52 a risk for cardiovascular disease at what level of homocystine is dangerous for health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elevated levels of homocysteine are indeed a risk factor for heart attacks, stroke, and even dementia. A recent report by Mayo Clinic discussed the cardiovascular problems that can occur if the levels are not managed. Some approaches do involve supplementing folic acid and N-acetyl cysteine. Medical foods are available. Ask your doctor.
