Product insights

  • Methyl-Guard® provides a comprehensive blend of nutrients – including betaine, 5-MTHF, methyl-B12, and P5P – to support optimal methylation processes throughout the body.
  • Betaine anhydrous (trimethylglycine) acts as a methyl donor, directly contributing to the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, thus supporting healthy homocysteine levels.
  • The inclusion of 5-MTHF, the most bioactive form of folate, bypasses the need for enzymatic conversion, ensuring optimal folate utilization, particularly beneficial for individuals with MTHFR gene variations.
  • Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate (P5P), the active form of Vitamin B6, plays a crucial role in numerous enzymatic reactions, including those involved in homocysteine metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis.

The research

2 cited studies
1.
Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Health

Research indicates that maintaining healthy homocysteine levels is crucial for cardiovascular health, similar to managing cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

2.
Folate and MTHFR Polymorphisms

Studies suggest that individuals with MTHFR gene polymorphisms may benefit from supplementation with 5-MTHF, the active form of folate, to support healthy methylation.
