Betaine lowers elevated homocysteine levels by converting it into methionine. Reducing homocysteine is beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Betaine acts as a methyl donor, facilitating the conversion of homocysteine into methionine. This process helps to lower elevated homocysteine levels in the bloodstream. Elevated homocysteine is an established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and reducing it can contribute to improved cardiovascular health.
