Homocysteine is a sulphur-containing amino acid generated from methionine, which is essential. The plasmatic concentration of homocysteine is the result of a strong connection between a person’s dietary habits and their genetic factors, meaning while the percentage of the population at risk is small, it’s crucial to get tested for homocysteine levels if a person is trying to get pregnant or at risk of heart disease. Elevated levels negatively influence many bodily functions, as explained by Giorgio Amadori, Inpha2000, at Vitafoods Europe 2018.
