Description ----------- * Dietary Supplement * Gluten Free * Heart/Vessels * Mood Supports methylation for y heart, blood vessels, brain, and s. Methyl-Guard contains betaine, 5-MTHF, methyl-B12, and P5P to support y methylation for cardiovascular, cognitive, and . Methylation helps maintain y cysteine levels. The body's methylation process is key to maintaining a y level of cysteine, as well as to multiple other bio processes involving neurotransmitters, detoxification, cardiovascular , eye , muscle , , and redox balance. Maintaining a normal cysteine level in the blood has joined having normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels as primary objectives for maintaining good cardiovascular . Because Methyl-Guard promotes y methylation, it helps maintain heart, blood vessel, cognitive, nerve, , and female reproductive . Methyl-Guard was the first tional supplement on the market to support cysteine sm and y methylation using ents in their active, tissue-ready forms. Methylation – the addition of a methyl group (CH3 – one carbon attached to three hydrogens) to another molecule – is an essential and vital bio process in the body involved in multiple bio pathways involving neurotransmitters, detoxification, cardiovascular , eye , muscle , , and redox balance. A number of specific ents are necessary for the process of methylation to occur normally. Methylation is essential to help maintain a normal level of cysteine. A deficiency in cysteine-zing cofactors is commonly seen in the elderly, resulting in an increase in cysteine levels with advancing age. An elevated cysteine level associated with aging, as well as low levels of folic and s B6 and B12, often results in the decreased methylation of numerous substances, such as and proteins, which in turn decreases the integrity of vascular structures and neurons. Providing tional cofactors for cysteine sm also provides support for a y brain. A number of bio imbalances that raise the level of cysteine can be addressed by supplementing with appropriate ent cofactors. For example, folic (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate), B12 (as methylcobalamin), and betaine (trimethylglycine) help recycle cysteine to the amino methionine, while the recycling of cysteine into the beneficial amino s cysteine and taurine is facilitated by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (the active form of B6). Studies have shown these ents help maintain a normal level of cysteine in the blood. Because cysteine levels can be higher in individuals in which the enzymatic reaction that converts folic to the active methyl donor L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) does not function properly, Methyl-Guard contains 400 mcg of active 5-MTHF per .
