Methyl-Guard® 180 Vegetarian Capsules

Thorne Research’s Methyl-Guard® delivers many of the significant homocysteine metabolism cofactors your body needs to promote and maintain bone and female reproductive health. Its powerful and effective formula also provides the valuable nutritional support needed to support healthy adrenal and thyroid glands, as well as the maintenance of optimal levels of homocysteine and methylation.

This supplement provides many health benefits, such as:

• Supporting healthy levels of homocysteine
• Supporting the strong methylation of dopamine, estrogen, epinephrine, heavy metals, and toxins
• Supporting the replacement of vital nutrients, which may be depleted if you take oral contraceptives (the birth control pill)

Methyl-Guard® contains several essential active ingredients, which work together to keep women healthy.

Folic Acid (as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate & calcium folinate): This B-vitamin is involved in breast tissue health, detoxification, prenatal development, nervous system functioning, and the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. In its active state, folic acid serves as a provider of methyl groups; its delivery of the mixture of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) and calcium folinate enables optimal utilization of folic acid, because it can bypass the metabolic steps prior to bioactivity. Furthermore, 5-MTHF presents the form of folic acid your body can use, which it normally has to convert other forms into—this allows for more efficient absorption. In this formulation, 5-MTHF is delivered as Quatrefolic and calcium folinate. Quatrefolic has been shown to have greater solubility, stability, and bioavailability than the calcium salt forms of 5-MTHF.

Trimethylglycine (anhydrous betaine): Located in a variety of tissues in the human body, trimethylglycine serves as an alternate donor of methyl when it comes to homocysteine metabolism. Trimethylglycine can also be a preventative agent, opposing the initiation of NF-κB that occurs at the same time as aging and inflammation.

Vitamin B-12 (methylcobalamin): Cyanocobalamin—the version of B-12 found in many other supplements—must be converted into methylcobalamin by the liver. In contrast, Methyl-Guard® provides vitamin B-12 in a directly usable form. B-12 has been found by studies to be effective in reducing homocysteine.

Vitamin B-2 (as riboflavin 5’-phosphate): As a key coenzyme form of vitamin B-2, riboflavin 5’-phosphate is used in many oxidation-related reactions. Riboflavin and folate interact to decrease plasma homocysteine levels.
