The scoreboard that no one asked for... but that could change everything

"Time doesn't tell everything. Sometimes it's the blood that keeps the true
answers."

In the world of medical analysis there are common protagonists: cholesterol, glucose,
Triglycerides. But behind the scenes, quietly, there is another name that deserves
much more prominence than it has.

The prestigious scientific journal Circulation has been warning about this for years: there is a marker
silent, little known, but profoundly influential on your cardiovascular health and
neurological. Its name sounds complex: homocysteine. But its impact is clear, and
Although almost no one mentions it, its impact on the health of the heart, brain and
pregnancy is as deep as it is little known.

Homocysteine is an amino acid that is formed naturally every time we eat.
We digest proteins, especially those rich in methionine. This process is normal and
necessary. The problem arises when it is not fully completed. Because for the
homocysteine does not accumulate, the body needs a number of cofactors —vitamins of the
group B, mainly B6, B9 (folate) and B12— which act as keys to your
transformation. When these keys are missing or do not work well, homocysteine begins
to rise. And that's where everything changes.

Many studies have shown that elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood
can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease,
cognitive impairment and gestational complications. The most disturbing thing is that this
molecule doesn't give symptoms. It doesn't give warning. And what isn't measured, isn't prevented.
Unlike cholesterol, homocysteine is not routinely tested.
But you can ask for it. It is a value expressed in micromoles per liter (μmol/L) and the
Experts agree that the ideal is to stay between 5 and 10. Above that figure,
the ground becomes more unstable. And if you have a family history of heart attacks, strokes or
memory problems, this analysis is not a whim, it is an intelligent decision.

Now, can homocysteine levels be lowered naturally? Yes. And not necessarily.

eggs or legumes, but also some supplements that go beyond the basics.
At Longevitas we deeply trust in the role of Betaine. This compound,
also known as trimethylglycine, acts as a methyl group donor, a
essential function to help convert homocysteine back into methionine.
It does so through an alternative pathway to the classic one that depends on folate, which is why it is
especially useful in people with genetic variants that affect the folate pathway
(like the famous MTHFR) or in times of greater metabolic need.

Our Betaine formula has been designed to support just that process. Because
We understand that it is not enough to reduce a marker, but that we must understand its
context. And when that context is cardiovascular prevention, brain health and
active longevity, every little tweak makes sense.

It's not about creating alarm, but about raising awareness. Sometimes the path to a longer life
And vitality lies not in the obvious, but in the forgotten. In that parameter that no one asked you for,
but that could make the difference between simply living… or living with purpose.
