Book your private Advanced Brain and Heart Prevention Test
Because your health matters
The Advanced Brain and Heart Prevention Test measures your homocysteine level; a key marker linked to heart health, brain function, nutrient status and long-term metabolic wellbeing.
Homocysteine is influenced by your intake and absorption of essential B?vitamins (B6, B12 and folate). When levels rise, it may signal nutritional imbalance, reduced detoxification efficiency or increased long-term risk of cardiovascular or cognitive conditions.
With personalised recommendations based on your results, this simple blood test helps you take proactive steps to support heart health, protect brain function, and optimise your overall metabolism.
Please note: this test can be added to any full body health check and can only be booked by phone.

What does a Homocysteine Test will you?
Your homocysteine level reflects how efficiently your body is processing and recycling key B-vitamins. When operating normally, the body uses B6, B12 and folate to convert homocysteine into other beneficial compounds.
When levels are elevated, it may indicate:
-
Low B-vitamin intake or absorption
-
Changes in metabolism or hormones
-
Genetic influences affecting methylation
-
Reduced kidney function, which affects homocysteine clearance
An optimal homocysteine level supports healthy blood vessels, memory, concentration, and overall cardiovascular resilience. Higher-than-normal levels may increase long-term risk of heart disease, stroke, reduced cognitive performance and inflammation.
Why take this test?
Homocysteine is one of the most informative markers for long-term heart and brain health. Measuring it gives you early insight into:
-
Whether your B-vitamin levels are sufficient
-
How well your body is supporting detoxification and energy production
-
Your potential risk for cardiovascular or circulatory issues
-
Factors that may influence memory, mood or cognitive performance
Because homocysteine reflects long-term metabolic processes rather than short-term fluctuations, it provides a reliable picture of your underlying health.
Why is this important?
Many people have elevated homocysteine without realising it, often due to lifestyle, diet or genetics. Identifying imbalances early allows you to:
-
Improve nutrient levels
-
Support healthy blood flow
-
Protect long-term brain function
-
Reduce cardiovascular risk over time
This test empowers you to make targeted, proactive improvements to your health.
Next steps
Your results will be presented in a clear, colour-coded range with personalised, practical advice.
If your homocysteine level is higher than ideal, simple changes, such as increasing B-vitamin-rich foods or using supplements, can help restore balance and support long-term brain and heart wellbeing.
