    Glossary Homocysteine

    amino acid linked to cardiovascular risk and hair health

    Homocysteine is an amino acid produced in the body during the metabolism of methionine, an essential amino acid found in many proteins. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood can be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and are also associated with conditions like alopecia, as high levels can damage blood vessels and affect hair follicle health.
