Key B vitamins work in concert to accomplish vital metabolic processes. L-methylfolate performs several roles assisted by cofactors that may be in short supply due to depletion by common medications or less than optimal diets and digestive processes. To give L-methylfolate all the assistance it needs in maintaining normal homocysteine levels and supporting the healthy formation of neurotransmitters‚ we’ve provided it in a formula with its top cofactors‚ B6 and B12. This product contains the phosphorylated form of B-6 and the methylated forms of B-12 and L-methylfolate for superior bioavailability. In addition‚ we’ve provided magnesium which assists the COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) enzyme in the breakdown of dopamine‚ epinephrine and norepinephrine‚ neurotransmitters which when unbalanced can increase feelings of stress.
✔Mood support: B6‚ folate‚ B-12 are involved in neural development and neurotransmitter synthesis. Balancing mood is a delicate process that involves both the formation and breakdown of neurotransmitters. L-methylfolate needs assistance from other nutrients during both processes. Due to less than ideal diets or digestive functions‚ these cofactors may be in short supply. Both low folate levels and low B 12 levels are associated with depression.
✔Aids in Normal Homocysteine Balance: L-5-MTHF is important in the lowering of homocysteine with B6 and B12 as cofactors in this process. High homocysteine levels point to both higher inflammation levels and possible deficient nutrient factors needed for its conversion (folate‚ B12 and B6).
High homocysteine is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease‚ vascular dementia‚ Alzheimer’s and depression.
Genetic factors influencing homocysteine levels include polymorphisms of the MTHFR gene.
It has been estimated that up to 60% of Americans carry an inherited mutation in the MTHFR gene.
