Hyperhomocysteinemia (elevated levels of homocysteine) has been identified in numerous conditions and disease states including, cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis and thrombosis), pregnancy complications, psoriasis, cognitive impairment in the elderly, mental disorders, neural tube defects and birth defects 1, 2.

Women with elevated levels of homocysteine have a 3-fold increased risk of CVD, whereas men have a 2-fold increased risk 3. Hyperhomocysteinemia correlates with an increased risk of colorectal cancer with elevated homocysteine levels being highly prevalent in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases which is believed to be associated with either an increased or decreased absorption of folate and other B vitamins 4. Hyperhomocysteinemia was associated with a 2 to 3-fold increased risk of abrupyio placentae, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and intrauterine growth restriction 5.
