Hypohomocysteinemia is something that is not frequently discussed in the medical community, but it can have negative health consequences.  Homocysteine is the precursor for glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant, and also for alpha-ketobuterate, which is the root of the krebs cycle and the beginning of all of your cellular energy. Very little research has been done on low homocysteine, but interestingly, 40% of people with unexplained peripheral neuropathy have low homocysteine, and the theory is that because of the low homocysteine, ther person is also experiencing low glutathione and so free radicals are more able to do nerve damage.
