Various conditions and stressors can have an adverse impact on the body’s methylation cycle. Nutrient deficiencies, environmental exposures, and other aspects of a modern lifestyle can cause inefficient methylation. In addition, approximately 60 percent of U.S. adults have a genetic variation that makes it difficult for their methylation cycle to function optimally.
Thorne’s Methyl-Guard Plus features betaine (trimethylgycine), methylated vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF), as well as the active forms of vitamins B2 and B6, for providing efficient nutritional support for the body’s methylation challenges.
This supplement contains 600 mg of Betaine Anhydrous (Trimethylglycine), 1 mg of Folate (as L-5-MTHF), and 30 mg of Riboflavin (as Riboflavin 5'-Phosphate Sodium). It also provides 1 mg of Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) and 15 mg of Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate). Other ingredients include Calcium (as Citrate), Calcium Laurate, and a Hypromellose Capsule.
Recommended Use or Purpose: Helps to form red blood cells. Helps to support liver function. Helps support healthy homocysteine levels for the maintenance of cardiovascular health. Methylation support: Methylation - the addition of a methyl group (CH4 - one carbon attached to three hydrogens) to another molecule - is an essential and vital biochemical process within the human body that is involved in a large number of biochemical pathways involving neurotransmitters, detoxification, cardiovascular health, eye health, muscle health, bone health, and redox balance.
Recommended Dose (Adults): Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by your health professional.
