Consider low protein intake, malabsorption, inadequate ATP, increased methyl demand or poor homocysteine recycling
7 Hydroxocobalamin has a homocysteine-reversing property by converting homocysteine to beneficial methionine that helps with energy production and is essential for the nervous system and normal brain function 7 8 Vitamin B12 deficiency can increase the homocysteine levels resulting in impaired cognitive function, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disorders, and osteoporosis
Genetic predispositions in detoxification enzymesincluding variations in GSTM1, GSTP1, and sulfotransferase genesmay influence both your baseline glutathione needs and your capacity to metabolize and excrete mycotoxins
The two work through different mechanisms and may produce additive benefits
