Homocysteine
Homocysteine is an amino acid that is naturally produced by the human body. Some studies have suggested that a high level of this amino acid is a major risk factor for heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.
The body normally breaks homocysteine down into other amino acids for use by the body, but this process can be slowed in people with Vitamin B deficiencies. Taking a multivitamin with B6, B12 and folic acid or eating more fruits and vegetables can help lower your homocysteine levels.
