Product Information
What is Thorne Methyl-Guard good for?
Thorne Methyl-Guard is a targeted B-vitamin complex designed to support the body's methylation cycle – a key biochemical process that influences cardiovascular health, nervous system function, detoxification and DNA synthesis. It provides essential nutrients in their bioactive forms to help maintain normal homocysteine levels, an important marker for heart and vascular wellbeing.
This formula combines folate (as 5-MTHF), vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5’-phosphate), vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) and betaine to support optimal methylation, neurotransmitter balance and healthy cell function. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with genetic variations or lifestyle factors that may reduce methylation efficiency.
Key Ingredients in Thorne Methyl-Guard
- 5-MTHF (Folate): Active folate form that supports methylation and homocysteine metabolism
- Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12): Bioavailable B12 for nervous system and red blood cell health
- Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate (Vitamin B6): Active form of B6 that supports neurotransmitter and amino acid metabolism
- Betaine (Trimethylglycine): Supports methylation and recycling of homocysteine to methionine
