Homocysteine is a common amino acid in your blood. You get it mostly from eating meat. High levels of it are linked to early development of heart disease. In fact, a high level of homocysteine is a risk factor for heart disease. It?s associated with low levels of vitamins B6, B12, and folate, as well as renal disease. Research has shown, however, that getting your homocysteine levels down with vitamins doesn?t reduce your chance of having heart disease

Dear Lybrateuser, - Your homocysteine level is on the higher side (also pl see the lab report range mentioned in it) - a higher level makes one prone to heart disease as it also indicates the degree of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels - can be improved by intake of vitamin B Complex & folates.
