What is XYMOGEN Methyl Protect?
Xymogen Methyl Protect is an exceptional formula crafted to support optimal methylation and maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. Packed with five essential nutrients crucial for homocysteine metabolism—calcium folinate and Quatrefolic® for enhanced bioactivity, trimethylglycine, and activated forms of vitamins B12, B6, and B2—this blend promotes vibrant methylation and boosts cardiovascular health. Embrace the power of Methyl Protect for a healthier you! is a comprehensive formula designed to support optimal methylation and help maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within normal range. It features five key nutrients that are involved in homocysteine metabolism: folate as calcium folinate and Quatrefolic® for increased bioactivity; trimethylglycine; and vitamins B12, B6, and B2. These five nutrients, provided in activated forms, support enhanced methylation and overall cardiovascular health. This is the 60 capsule size.
What are the benefits?
What is Methylation?
Methylation is the process of adding a methyl group (which consists of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms) to proteins, enzymes, chemicals, DNA, or amino acids like homocysteine. This process is essential and plays a vital role in various biochemical pathways related to detoxification, cardiovascular health, neurological well-being, eye health, muscle function, bone health, and redox balance. Additionally, effective methylation is important for the biosynthesis and breakdown of catecholamines, such as epinephrine, which is crucial for maintaining healthy adrenal function.
What is in XYMOGEN Methyl Protect?
Folic Acid (as calcium folinate and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate) – This B vitamin plays vital roles in detoxification, nervous system function, breast tissue health, prenatal development, and converting homocysteine back to methionine. In its active form, folic acid acts as a methyl group donor. The combination of calcium folinate and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) allows for optimal utilization of folic acid by bypassing certain metabolic steps necessary for its bioactivity. In fact, 5-MTHF is the form into which the body converts all other forms of folic acid before it can be utilized. In this formula, 5-MTHF is provided as calcium folinate and Quatrefolic®. Quatrefolic® has been shown to have greater stability, solubility, and bioavailability compared to the calcium salt forms of 5-MTHF.
Trimethylglycine (as anhydrous betaine) – Found in several tissues in humans, trimethylglycine acts as an alternative methyl donor in homocysteine metabolism. Trimethylglycine may also be a preventive agent against the activation of NF-kappaB.
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) – Cyanocobalamin (the form of B12 present in many supplements) has to be converted in the liver to methylcobalamin, the form provided in Methyl Protect. B12 is another methyl donor, and studies suggest that it supports healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range on its own and in combination with folate.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5’-phosphate) – This coenzyme form of vitamin B6 is the primary bioactive form. It is a coenzyme in approximately 100 enzymatic reactions. Data from the Framingham Study showed an inverse association between homocysteine and good B6 status (as well as B12 and folate).
Vitamin B2 (as riboflavin 5’-phosphate) – As the principal coenzyme form of B2, riboflavin 5’-phosphate is used in many oxidative reactions. Folate and riboflavin interact to support healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range, possibly by maximizing the catalytic activity of the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). The effect may be unrelated to MTHFR genotype.
