Vessel care contains vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid. It is taken to lower homocysteine levels, a dangerous byproduct of protein consumption. Elevated homocysteine levels have been associated with major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and Alzheimer's. The ingredients in Vessel Care work together to lower elevated homocysteine levels, and we usually recommend Vessel Care as our "first line" treatment for high homocysteine levels (above 10.5 for people younger than 50 and greater than 12 for people older than 50). If homocysteine levels do not fall enough with Vessel Care alone, we recommend adding Actifolate and TMG if needed.For health maintenance, we recommend one tablet of Vessel Care twice a day.
