Methylation is a vitally important process involving detoxification, cardiovascular health, neurological health, eye, muscle and bone health. It also has a role in the breakdown of epinephrine which is important for healthy adrenal function.
Imagine that your body is like a complex machine, such as an airplane, with various gears and switches that need to be functionally optimally to fly the smoothest. Methylation, and the opposite action, demethylation, are what allows the gears to turn, and the switches to be flipped on and off.
Methylation reactions require dietary consumption or supplementation of a group of nutrients known as methyl donors. Vitamin B12 is a methyl donor, like folic acid, and supports healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. Folic Acid is a B vitamin important for detoxification, nervous system function and the conversion of homocysteine back to methionine, another methyl donor. This supplement also helps support healthy homocysteine levels which is an amino acid produced as part of your body’s methylation process. Keeping these levels balanced is important for cardiovascular and neurological health.

Vitamin B6 is a coenzyme in approximately 100 enzymatic reactions in your body and Vitamin B2 is used in oxidative reactions. You may want to consider methylation support if you have had toxic exposure, particularly to toxic mold or heavy metals; experience high amounts of stress; and/or have a compromised immune system. In addition to supplementing, it’s important to eat well, get regular exercise, adequate sleep and limit the toxins you are putting into your body. To get the most benefit from the supplements you do take, consume a nutrient-dense diet full of low-glycemic foods while avoiding certain foods that cause inflammation, such as overly processed foods, dairy and gluten.
