Methyl-Guard Plus (90 Capsules)

Various conditions and stressors can have an adverse impact on the body’s methylation cycle. Nutrient deficiencies, environmental exposures, and other aspects of a modern lifestyle can cause inefficient methylation. In addition, approximately 60 percent of U.S. adults have a genetic variation that makes it difficult for their methylation cycle to function optimally.

Thorne’s Methyl-Guard Plus features betaine (trimethylglycine), methylated vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF), as well as the active forms of vitamins B2 and B6, for providing efficient nutritional support for the body’s methylation challenges.*

Benefits of Thorne Methyl-Guard Plus

• Nutritional support for individuals who have MTHFR gene variations*
• Enhanced cellular energy production fights occasional fatigue*

• Promotes liver detoxification of many substances, including hormones like estrogen*

Why is methylation important?

Methylation is a simple reaction where a small molecule known as a “methyl group” is transferred from one substance to another. Methylation significantly impacts many biochemical reactions in the body and plays a beneficial role in:

• Cardiovascular health
• Cellular energy production
• Fat metabolism
• Neurological function
• DNA production
• Liver detoxification processes
• Eye health
• Histamine balance

Who can benefit from Thorne Methyl-Guard Plus

• Individuals with variations to MTHFR and other genes that adversely affect methylation*
• Aging individuals wanting to support their cardiovascular, cognitive, and metabolic health*
• Women seeking support for estrogen metabolism and bone health*
• Individuals wanting nutritional support for fat metabolism and maintenance of a healthy body composition*
• Anyone with limited consumption of methylation-supportive foods like green leafy vegetables, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables

Features of Thorne Methyl-Guard Plus

• Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a superior methyl donor 
• The methylated forms of vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF) benefit individuals with certain gene mutations*
