“Elevated homocysteine levels often slip under the radar during routine checkups, yet they quietly raise our risk for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's, and even shorten our lifespan.”

“Creatine may also help reduce inflammation and homocysteine, both of which are linked to cardiovascular disease development. It's important to note that while these mechanisms are supported by in vitro and in vivo studies, there is a lack of clinical trials in humans specifically examining the impact of creatine on vascular health.”

“Minimal evidence suggests that people who carry mutations in the MTHFR gene (which impairs homocysteine metabolism) may benefit from creatine supplementation. Learn more about DNA methylation and its role in epigenetics in this overview article.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick covers lithium microdosing, reducing homocysteine, aluminum's link to cancer, and beta-alanine and alpha-lipoic acid supplements.

“For example, high levels of serum homocysteine, a byproduct of normal cellular metabolism that is an endothelial toxin at high concentrations, can be caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, a common problem in older adults.”

“Researchers measured the blood levels of magnesium, homocysteine, folate, and vitamin B12 in 172 healthy middle-aged people. They also assessed DNA damage by examining specific biomarkers in the blood cells, such as micronuclei, nucleoplasmic bridges, and nuclear buds.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses sunscreen safety, HIIT & brain health, diet, omega-3s, urolithin A, sulforaphane, homocysteine, peptides, and CoQ10.

“Some research indicates that creatine supplementation does not significantly alter homocysteine levels in healthy individuals. For example, a study involving young soccer players found that short-term creatine supplementation did not prevent the exercise-induced increase in plasma homocysteine.”

“Her cardiovascular list begins with a standard lipid panel and can extend to ApoB, ApoA1, Lp(a), particle measures, and homocysteine when risk context justifies more detail. ApoB can add information when cholesterol content and atherogenic particle number disagree.”
