Product Information
Why take this product?
- Supports healthy methylation, a vital process for maintaining optimal cardiovascular, cognitive, and nervous system health.
- Helps regulate homocysteine levels, a key factor in heart health, by providing active forms of folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6.
- Promotes the integrity of DNA and proteins by supporting the efficient methylation of these critical molecules.
- Ideal for individuals with the MTHFR genetic mutation or those struggling with nutrient deficiencies affecting methylation.
- Provides targeted support for aging adults, helping to maintain healthy homocysteine levels and reduce the risk of associated health concerns.
How it works
Methyl-Guard® is a specialized supplement designed to support healthy methylation, a vital biochemical process in the body that plays a crucial role in various aspects of health, including cardiovascular, cognitive, nerve, bone, and female reproductive health. Methylation involves the addition of a methyl group (CH3) to other molecules, facilitating the metabolism of neurotransmitters, detoxification processes, and the maintenance of cellular structures like DNA and proteins. By promoting efficient methylation, Methyl-Guard helps regulate homocysteine levels, a key factor in cardiovascular health. Elevated homocysteine is a known risk factor for heart disease, and maintaining normal levels is essential for overall well-being.
The body’s ability to properly methylate can be compromised by nutrient deficiencies, environmental factors, and genetic mutations. Around 60% of adults have a common genetic mutation that restricts the activity of an enzyme essential for methylation. This can result in inefficient methylation and an imbalance in homocysteine levels, which may contribute to aging-related health concerns. Methyl-Guard addresses this issue by providing active, bioavailable forms of the essential nutrients needed for proper methylation. These include L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (the active form of folic acid), methylcobalamin (the active form of vitamin B12), and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6).
Methyl-Guard was the first supplement of its kind to offer these active nutrients in a highly bioavailable form, making it a trusted choice for those seeking to support methylation and maintain healthy homocysteine levels. This unique formula is ideal for individuals who may struggle with nutrient absorption, particularly those with the MTHFR genetic mutation, which impairs the body’s ability to activate key nutrients like folic acid. By helping the body efficiently process homocysteine, Methyl-Guard promotes vascular integrity, cognitive function, and overall health, especially in older adults who are more prone to deficiencies in these critical vitamins.
For optimal health, it is essential to provide the body with the proper nutrients for methylation, especially in the face of stressors or genetic predispositions. Methyl-Guard helps fill the gap, supporting the body’s natural processes and contributing to long-term wellness. With its clinically supported ingredients and active forms of vitamins, Methyl-Guard is an essential supplement for those looking to enhance their health and mitigate the effects of aging, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental stress.
