🧬 Understanding Methylation: Your Body’s Biochemical Superpower 🧬
What Is Methylation?
Methylation is a vital biochemical process that happens in every cell of your body—billions of times per second. It involves the transfer of a "methyl group" (one carbon and three hydrogen atoms) to various molecules, helping your body:
🧠 Regulate mood and support mental health, supports neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
⚡ Convert food into energy, supports mitochondrial function - the power plant of the cells
🛡️ Detoxify chemicals and heavy metals - helps cellular detoxification
🌿 Balance hormones - supports hormonal detoxification and development
🔧 Repair DNA and support healthy aging
When methylation runs smoothly, you feel balanced, energized, and resilient.
When it doesn’t run smoothly, symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or hormonal imbalances may arise.
Why You Might Need Methylation SupportYour ability to methylate well can be affected by:
Genetic variants (such as MTHFR, MTRR, COMT and others)
Poor nutrition or low B-vitamin intake
Chronic stress
Toxin and infection exposure
Inflammation
Over time, these stressors can slow or impair this essential process, making it harder for your body to function optimally.
🌿 Meet Your Methylation Ally: Methylated B Vitamins
To help your body perform at its best, we recommend methylated B vitamins, in a high-quality B-vitamin complex designed to:
✅ Promote healthy methylation ✅ Improve energy levels ✅ Support hormone and neurotransmitter balance ✅ Help your body adapt to stress ✅ Encourage detoxification and DNA repair
Bioavailable forms of key B vitamins (P-5-P -B6, methylfolate-B9, and methylcobalamin-B12), are especially supportive for those with MTHFR and other gene variations.
At your initial appointment your methylation status will be checked to see if you are in need of the bioavailable B vitamins for methylation.
