Methylated B Vitamins: The Key to Lowering Homocysteine and Supporting Heart Health
Methylated B vitamins are crucial for lowering homocysteine levels, a key marker for cardiovascular risk. Elevated homocysteine, particularly above nine, indicates a heightened risk of heart attacks or strokes. Methylation, which involves adding a methyl group, plays a significant role in this process. Methylated B12, methylfolate, trimethylglycine (TMG), and methionine are effective methylation donors that aid in metabolic processes and detoxification pathways, ultimately helping to reduce homocysteine levels. Regular intake of these methylated B vitamins can be beneficial, even for individuals with MTHFR genetic variations, as they help to mitigate potential methylation challenges. Timely consumption, particularly in the morning, may enhance energy levels and combat afternoon fatigue, presenting an alternative to typical afternoon stimulants like coffee or snacks.
