It is produced in the body as a residual substance from certain chemical reactions taking place during cell renewal, and it is involved in the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is the product of the normal metabolism of methionine, an amino acid obtained through diet. High levels of homocysteine are associated with coronary heart disease and, above all, strokes, neurological diseases and reproductive problems.</p></section><section class="sc-desc__card"><h3 class="sc-desc__h">Factors that increase homocysteine levels in the blood :</h3><ul class="sc-desc__dots"><li>Genetic factors.</li><li>Dietary deficiency in vitamins B6, B9 (folate) or B12.</li><li>Renal or hepatic insufficiency, hypothyroidism, neoplasia, etc.</li><li>Medications and toxins (excessive consumption of coffee and/or alcohol, smoking, etc.)</li><li>Consumption of animal products that increase cholesterol oxides (oxysterols) in the blood. Meat contains a lot of methionine, which is a precursor of homocysteine.</li></ul><p class="sc-desc__p">Homocysteine is considered elevated (hyperhomocysteinaemia) at levels above 10,4 μmol/L in women and 11,4 μmol/L in men.</p></section></div>
