Homocysteine

If we have a genetic tendency to an increased level of homocysteine (a kind of fatty acid which we can have too much of), this is indicative of other health risks, for example dementia or multiple sclerosis. So if we know we have an elevated homocysteine level, we should keep monitoring it in order to forestall more serious diseases. That’s because homocysteine is inflammatory and is capable of causing inflammation at the neurological level. Prevention means identifying the gene and, if the bad gene variant is actually present, then regularly measuring the homocysteine. If homocysteine levels are elevated, then use vitamin B complexes in certain quantities to reduce the homocysteine.
