Homocysteine

Included in Blueprint
Why we test it
Homocysteine is an amino acid that, when elevated, is linked to brain shrinkage and increased dementia risk. It's one of the most actionable brain health markers. Targeted B-vitamin supplementation can bring it into optimal range within weeks.
BetterBrain target
< 10 µmol/L (ideal < 8)
Standard lab range: 5-15 µmol/L. Research links levels above 10 to accelerated brain volume loss. Our brain-optimal target is tighter because cognitive benefits appear well below the standard cutoff.
What you Can do

  2. Folate (methylated)
  3. Mediterranean diet
