Advanced Brain and Heart Prevention Test (Homocysteine)

This test focuses on homocysteine, a powerful biomarker that offers early insight into nutritional status, metabolic health and long-term risk for both cardiovascular and cognitive decline.

The Advanced Brain and Heart Prevention Test measures your homocysteine level; a key marker linked to heart health, brain function, nutrient status and long-term metabolic wellbeing.

Homocysteine is influenced by your intake and absorption of essential B-vitamins (B6, B12 and folate). When levels rise, it may signal nutritional imbalance, reduced detoxification efficiency or increased long-term risk of cardiovascular or cognitive conditions.

With personalised recommendations based on your results, this simple blood test helps you take proactive steps to support heart health, protect brain function, and optimise your overall metabolism.

Please note: this test can be added to any full body health check and can only be booked by phone.

What does a Homocysteine Test will you?

Your homocysteine level reflects how efficiently your body is processing and recycling key B-vitamins. When operating normally, the body uses B6, B12 and folate to convert homocysteine into other beneficial compounds.

When levels are elevated, it may indicate:

• Low B-vitamin intake or absorption

• Changes in metabolism or hormones

• Genetic influences affecting methylation

• Reduced kidney function, which affects homocysteine clearance

An optimal homocysteine level supports healthy blood vessels, memory, concentration, and overall cardiovascular resilience. Higher-than-normal levels may increase long-term risk of heart disease, stroke, reduced cognitive performance and inflammation.

Why is this important?

Many people have elevated homocysteine without realising it, often due to lifestyle, diet or genetics. Identifying imbalances early allows you to:

• Improve nutrient levels

• Support healthy blood flow

• Protect long-term brain function

• Reduce cardiovascular risk over time

This test empowers you to make targeted, proactive improvements to your health.
