Homocysteine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. When proteins break down, elevated levels of amino acids like homocysteine may be found in the bloodstream. Having elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood (hyperhomocysteinemia) is associated with atherosclerosis and blood clots. It is not possible to get homocysteine from the diet. It must be made from methionine, another amino acid that is found in meat, fish, and dairy products.
Platelets are the part of your blood that causes it to clot, or aggregate. Although clotting is useful to repair the body after physical injury, blood clotting in arteries can also lead to heart problems. Many foods provide blood-thinning agents that reduce platelet aggregation.latelets are the part of your blood that causes it to clot, or aggregate.
