Frequently Asked Questions

What is homocysteine?

Homocysteine is an amino acid that interacts with B vitamins and converts to methionine (a protein-building amino acid and antioxidant) and cysteine (an amino acid that supports liver health). Over time, homocysteine can accumulate in the bloodstream, potentially impacting cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and more.

What does “bioavailable” mean?

When something is bioavailable, it means that it’s more readily absorbed and used by the body.
