MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, and Betaine stimulate the
liver's methylation of homocysteine. Vitamin B6
stimulates the metabolism of homocyteine to
cystathione, cysteine and serine. Aspirin has been
show to decrease the risk of heart attack and
stroke by 56% in men with elevated C-reactive
protein (CRP).
Studies document that this
unique combination of supplements can reduce serum
homocysteine levels by 27 to 52% in patients with
hyperhomocysteinemia.
