Let’s explore “Homocysteine, folate transport, and uric acid”

Explore Dr. Purser’s connection between methylation and purine pathways.

A gout treatment target is not the same as the healthy-population interval.

Supports DNA synthesis and one-carbon metabolism, including the pathway that processes homocysteine.

Follow Dr. Purser’s teaching on folate, B12, sulfur pathways and antioxidant support around homocysteine.

See how homocysteine connects to cysteine and glutathione. Follow seven simple steps, explore the side routes, and tap a word or building block to learn more.

No universal wellness target. Ask your clinician to read this result with B12, folate, B6, kidney, thyroid, genetics, and medications.

Makes an enzyme that helps produce a form of folate used in the processing of homocysteine. Common variants are different from rare variants that cause severe MTHFR deficiency.

A cofactor involved in mitochondrial enzyme reactions, also sold as alpha-lipoic acid.

Is used to make coenzyme A, important in energy and fat metabolism.

Supports collagen formation, antioxidant activity and absorption of nonheme iron.

<4.0 suggests deficiency. Recent intake or supplementation may raise serum values.

More specific for cellular B12 deficiency; kidney impairment can elevate.
