Review on Folate (Metafoline) tab., 400 mcg, 50 pcs., neutral by Dagmara Rudowska ᠌

I drink courses to lower homocysteine, on the recommendation of a geneticist and a gynecologist. Homocysteine ​​is an amino acid, an intermediate product of the metabolism (exchange) of other amino acids - methionine and cysteine. Homocysteine ​​does not come from food, but is formed only in the body. Normally, this amino acid “lives” in the body for a very short time, after which it turns into other compounds. For the implementation of such transformations, vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid are needed. In case of violations of the metabolism of homocysteine ​​due to a defect in enzyme systems or due to a lack of essential vitamins, it accumulates in large quantities inside the cells, and then enters the bloodstream. An excess of homocysteine ​​can lead to the formation of blood clots, damage to the walls of blood vessels, making it looser, to the deposition of cholesterol and calcium in it with the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
