Methyl-Guard Plus

Methyl-Guard Plus® Details 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.* Benefits of Thorne's Methyl-Guard Plus • Nutritional support for individuals who have MTHFR gene variations* • Enhanced cellular energy production fights occasional fatigue* • Helps maintain a healthy homocysteine level in the blood, which supports cardiovascular, cognitive, and bone health* • Promotes fat metabolism and lean body composition* • Supports neurotransmitter production – natural chemicals that play an important role in nervous system functions, like attention, focus, mood, and sleep* • Promotes liver detoxification of many substances, including hormones like estrogen* 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: • Cardiovascular health • Cellular energy production • Fat metabolism • Neurological function • DNA production • Liver detoxification processes • Eye health • Histamine balance Who can benefit from Thorne's Methyl-Guard Plus • Individuals with variations to MTHFR and other genes that adversely affect methylation* • Aging individuals wanting to support their cardiovascular, cognitive, and metabolic health* • Women seeking support for estrogen metabolism and bone health* • Individuals wanting nutritional support for fat metabolism and maintenance of a healthy body composition* • Anyone with limited consumption of methylation-supportive foods like green leafy vegetables, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables Features of Thorne's Methyl-Guard Plus • Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a superior methyl donor • The methylated forms of vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF) benefit individuals with certain gene mutations* • Active forms of vitamins B2 and B6 – key cofactors in methylation processes • B vitamins in their active, tissue-ready forms means your body gets the greatest benefit with the least additional work* • Robust methylation support in fewer capsules per day than Thorne's original Methyl-Guard®
