Methyl Charge+ may support:
- Methylation
- NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) Production
- Detoxification and Energy Production
1. Methylation
The methylation cycle is a crucial biochemical pathway that involves the transfer of methyl groups (CH3) between molecules, essential for various functions, including DNA regulation, neurotransmitter synthesis, detoxification and energy production. This blend of four key B vitamins (methyl B12, folate, B6 and Riboflavin) and TMG is designed to keep the wheels of your methylation cycle turning.
Why methylation is important:
DNA Regulation
Methylation plays a vital role in regulating gene expression, essentially turning genes on or off.
Neurotransmitter Synthesis
It's involved in the production of important neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and melatonin.
Detoxification
Methylation helps your body process and neutralize harmful substances, including toxins and estrogen.
Energy Production
The methylation cycle contributes to the production of energy-rich molecules like ATP.
Methylation is also involved in homocysteine metabolism, protein methylation and reducing inflammation.
Implications of methylation imbalance:
- Poorly functioning methylation cycle can lead to various health problems, including inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and increased susceptibility to infections.
- Linked to mental health, with deficiencies potentially contributing to mood disorders and anxiety.
- Understanding methylation biochemistry is crucial in the treatment of autism, as it contributes to many of the symptoms seen in patients on the spectrum.
2. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) Production
It's a critical coenzyme found in every cell in your body that's involved in hundreds of metabolic processes like cellular energy and mitochondrial health. NAD+ and methylation cycles are closely interconnected. Pairing Methyl Charge+ with NAD+ Gold supports optimal synergy.
3. Detoxification and Energy Production
The methylation cycle affects glutathione production, detoxification, and processes related to aging and energy production.
Keep the wheels of your methylation cycle turning.
Methyl Charge+ can be used on its own for undermethylators, and paired with NAD+ Gold. Also great alongside detox and healthy aging protocols.
