What is a good Homocysteine level?

BioForge works to an optimal range rather than the lab's reference flag. For Homocysteine that is 6–9, measured in umol/L. A result inside the lab's normal range can still sit outside the range where most people feel and function well.

Homocysteine

Measured in umol/L

An amino acid that damages blood vessel linings when it accumulates. Usually a vitamin problem, and usually fixable.

What the numbers mean

These are the ranges BioForge works to. They are not the same as a lab's reference range, which is built from the general population rather than from people who feel well.

What moves Homocysteine

Driven up by low B12, folate or B6, MTHFR gene variants, kidney disease, smoking, and heavy coffee or alcohol. Usually responds well to methylated B vitamins.
