Are You At Risk? What’s Your Homocysteine Level?

• Stroke
• Heart Attack
• Coronary Heart Disease
• Diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Dementia
• Alzheimer’s

Homocysteine (HCY) is like cholesterol. An elevated homocysteine level is very dangerous… it can wreak havoc when it’s too high! You can’t feel dangerous, elevated HCY levels

The damage can rarely be reversed. Most North Americans are poorly prepared to handle the effects of a stroke. It’s hard to fully recover from a stroke, so that’s a good reason to start taking TnVita’s HCY Guard immediately to help reduce your risk.

When your homocysteine level is too high, your body suffers

During the methylation cycle, when HCY fails to recombine the “leftover’ protein into methionine, this excess HCY escapes into your bloodstream. It may begin to build up and cause destructive explosions to the most delicate tissues in your body. For example, it can damage your arteries, brain, bones and even your DNA.

The results can be devastating This is the kind of damage that high levels of homocysteine can cause inside your body and brain:

Thickening and hardening your arteries and weakening heart tissue —this can lead to strokes and heart attacks by shredding your most delicate tissues and inflicting thousands of tiny paper cuts inside your arteries and brain

• Building fibrous webs in the synapses of your brain — this may lead to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease

• Impacting DNA function, causing potentially dangerous cell or DNA mutations

• Leaving your bones unable to absorb calcium, causing weak bones and osteoporosis

• Contributing to the damage done by many degenerative diseases.
