Description
To support healthy methylation for cardiovascular, cognitive, and bone health, try Thorne's Methyl-Guard. Methylation helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels.
The body's methylation process is critical for maintaining healthy homocysteine levels, as well as for several other biochemical processes involving neurotransmitters, detoxification, cardiovascular health, eye health, muscle health, bone health, and redox balance. Maintaining normal blood homocysteine levels has joined normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels as primary goals for maintaining good cardiovascular health. Because Methyl-Guard promotes healthy methylation, it helps maintain heart, blood vessel, cognitive, nerve, bone, and female reproductive health. Methyl-Guard was the first nutritional supplement on the market to support homocysteine metabolism and healthy methylation using nutrients in their active, tissue-ready forms.
Various conditions and stressors can adversely impact the body's methylation cycle. For example, nutrient deficiencies and environmental and physical stressors can cause inefficient methylation. Furthermore, a common human genetic mutation that restricts the activity of a key enzyme in the body involved in methylation affects approximately 60% of US adults. This genetic anomaly poses a significant challenge to efficient methylation—and creates an important need for nutritional support to help correct it.
Methylation—the addition of a methyl group (CH3—a carbon bonded to three hydrogens) to another molecule—is an essential and vital biochemical process in the body involved in multiple biochemical pathways involving neurotransmitters, detoxification, cardiovascular health, eye health, muscle health, bone health, and redox balance. Several specific nutrients are required for the methylation process to occur effectively.
Effective methylation must occur to maintain normal homocysteine levels. A deficiency in the cofactors that metabolize homocysteine is commonly seen in the elderly, resulting in increased homocysteine levels in the aging population. Elevated homocysteine levels associated with aging, as well as less-than-optimal levels of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12, often result in inefficient methylation of numerous substances, such as DNA and proteins, which in turn diminishes the integrity of vascular structures and neurons. Providing the nutritional cofactors for efficient homocysteine metabolism also supports a healthy brain.
A number of biochemical imbalances that increase homocysteine levels can be addressed by supplementing with appropriate nutritional cofactors. For example, folic acid (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate), vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin), and betaine (trimethylglycine) help recycle homocysteine into the amino acid methionine, while pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6) facilitates the recycling of homocysteine into the beneficial amino acids cysteine and taurine. Studies have shown that these nutrients help maintain normal blood homocysteine levels.
Because homocysteine levels may be higher in individuals in whom the enzymatic reaction that converts folic acid to the active methyl donor L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) does not function properly, Methyl-Guard contains 400 mcg of active 5-MTHF per capsule.
