One risk factor for heart disease and stroke is high blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that is a by product of protein digestion.
Folate plays an essential role in the metabolism of homocysteine and helps keep its levels low in your body. Thus, a folate deficiency may elevate blood homocysteine levels, potentially causing a condition known as hyperhomocysteinemia.
Conversely, research has shown that supplementing with folic acid may reduce homocysteine levels and lower the risk of heart disease.
Supplementing with folic acid has also been shown to reduce other heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure. Folic acid may also improve blood flow, thereby promoting heart health.
