Thorne Research
offers a Methyl-Guard Plus supplement that may help balance the body for both
men and women.
Methyl-Guard Plus contains higher
amounts of 5-MTHF (the active form of folate), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (active
B6), and methylcobalamin (active B12) than our original Methyl-Guard. It also
has added riboflavin 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B2) for its
positive effect on homocysteine metabolism and methylation. These ingredients
provide the necessary nutrients the body uses for methylation.
Methylation –
the addition of a methyl group (CH3 – 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.
