Methyl-Guard Plus: Advanced Support for Healthy Methylation
Thorne’s Methyl-Guard Plus delivers a powerful, targeted blend of essential nutrients in their most active, bioavailable forms to support the body’s critical methylation pathway. Methylation is a fundamental biochemical process that impacts nearly every cell and organ, influencing everything from cardiovascular and neurological health to detoxification and mood regulation. This formula provides a high-potency combination of B vitamins and betaine to promote healthy homocysteine levels, support neurotransmitter production, and optimize overall wellness for individuals needing more robust methylation support.
How It Works: The Power of Active, Tissue-Ready Nutrients
Many individuals have genetic variations, like those in the MTHFR gene, that can make it difficult to convert standard B vitamins into their active forms. Methyl-Guard Plus bypasses these potential roadblocks by providing nutrients that are ready for your body to use immediately.
Bioactive B Vitamins
This formula features the active forms of folate (L-5-MTHF), vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), vitamin B6 (P-5-P), and vitamin B2 (riboflavin 5′-phosphate). These B vitamins are crucial “methyl donors” that facilitate the conversion of the potentially harmful amino acid homocysteine into the beneficial amino acid methionine. Maintaining a healthy homocysteine level is vital for cardiovascular health, while proper B vitamin status is essential for producing the neurotransmitters that regulate mood, such as serotonin and dopamine.
Betaine (TMG) for Added Support
To provide even more comprehensive support, Methyl-Guard Plus includes a significant amount of Betaine Anhydrous, also known as TMG (trimethylglycine). Betaine offers an additional pathway for homocysteine metabolism, particularly in the liver, which supports detoxification processes. It also protects against fat accumulation in the liver and provides further support for cardiovascular health. This synergistic formula ensures a multi-faceted approach to maintaining a balanced and efficient methylation cycle.
