What is homocysteine?
Homocysteine is an amino acid naturally produced in the body during methionine metabolism. Folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 are important for its normal metabolism.
An elevated laboratory result may be associated with an inadequate intake or utilisation of certain B vitamins, lifestyle factors, some medicines, genetic factors or particular medical conditions.
A homocysteine result should therefore be interpreted by a doctor together with other relevant laboratory findings and the person’s medical history.
Active forms of folate and vitamin B12
Vitamin B9 as 5-MTHF
The product provides vitamin B9 as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, also known as 5-MTHF or methylfolate. This biologically active form of folate may be used without first converting conventional folic acid into 5-MTHF.
Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, blood formation, psychological function, immune-system function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin is a metabolically active form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, nervous-system function, red-blood-cell formation, psychological function, energy metabolism and reduced tiredness.
The roles of vitamins B6 and B2
Vitamin B6 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, normal cysteine synthesis, nervous-system function, energy metabolism, regulation of hormonal activity and reduced tiredness.
Vitamin B2 – riboflavin contributes to normal nervous-system function, energy metabolism, the maintenance of normal red blood cells and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Pharmacist’s advice
SAGAS RC 02 is a targeted formula rather than a conventional everyday multivitamin. It is best considered when there is an identified requirement or professional recommendation for active folate and B-group vitamins.
Pay particular attention to vitamin B6. One tablet contains 20 mg, so do not simultaneously use another B-complex, magnesium with B6 or nerve-support product without checking the combined daily amount.
Stop use and consult a doctor or pharmacist if tingling, burning or numbness develops in the hands or feet. These symptoms can have many causes and should not automatically be attributed to a vitamin deficiency.
Elevated homocysteine may require testing of vitamin B12, folate, the complete blood count and other parameters selected by a doctor. Supplementation does not replace laboratory monitoring, smoking cessation, limiting alcohol, physical activity or appropriate treatment of an underlying condition.
