Homocysteine OnlyĀ
About the test:
The homocysteine test measures blood levels of homocysteine, an intermediate in methionine metabolism. Out of range levels may indicate deficiencies in B vitamins (B12, B6, folate), betaine, choline, or genetic variations affecting enzymes like CBS, MS, and MTHFR. Additionally, imbalanced levels can affect sulphur amino acid metabolism, impacting glutathione and taurine production, potentially increasing oxidative stress.
