Methyl-Guard Plus

2 Capsules, Once Daily | 45 Day Supply

Methylation is key to keeping homocysteine levels in check, as well as for facilitating multiple biochemical processes involving neurotransmitter synthesis, detoxification, cardiovascular health, eye health, muscle health, bone health, and redox balance.

 

Maintaining a desirable level of homocysteine in the blood has joined healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels as leading biomarkers for the maintenance of good cardiovascular health.* Preventing an undesirable homocysteine level is also associated with the maintenance of bone, female reproductive, cognitive, and neurological health.* 

 

Methyl-Guard Plus supports methylation and promotes healthy homocysteine levels with betaine (trimethylglycine), 5-MTHF (the active form of folate), riboflavin 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B2), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6), and methylcobalamin (an active form of vitamin B12).*

Why it’s good for you

  • Supports Healthy Methylation

    Methylation is a critical biochemical process in the body that affects DNA synthesis and repair, neurotransmitter production, and detoxification. Methyl-Guard Plus provides key nutrients like methylated folate, vitamin B6, and B12, which are essential for efficient methylation.

  • Promotes Cardiovascular Health

    Homocysteine is an amino acid that, at high levels, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Methyl-Guard Plus helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels through the inclusion of folate, vitamin B6, and B12, which are involved in its metabolism.

  • Supports Brain Health

    The nutrients in Methyl-Guard Plus, such as methylated folate and vitamin B12, play a vital role in neurotransmitter production and brain function. This support can enhance cognitive function and emotional well-being, making it beneficial for overall mental health.
