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 (trimethylglycine), 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.*
Why is methylation important?
Methylation is a simple reaction where a small molecule known as a "methyl group" is transferred from one substance to another. Methylation significantly impacts many biochemical reactions in the body and plays a beneficial role in:
- Cellular energy production
- Liver detoxification processes

5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrently with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, 5-MTHF has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
Keep out of reach of children.
