Low B Vitamins-High Homocysteine

June 2004

As you age make sure you are getting a good supply of B vitamins. They play an important role in helping maintain healthy homocysteine levels in your cardiovascular system. Researchers in Germany evaluated the dietary intake and the blood status of various B vitamins and homocysteine concentrations in 178 younger (60-70 years old) female seniors. They found that "even in younger, well-educated female seniors, the prevalence of low B vitamin status and elevated plasma homocysteine concentration is high."
