About

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 (trimethylgycine), 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’s Methyl-Guard Plus: • Nutritional support for individuals who have MTHFR gene mutations* • Enhanced cellular energy production fights fatigue* • Helps maintain a healthy homocysteine level in the blood, which supports cardiovascular, cognitive, and bone health* • Promotes fat metabolism and lean body composition* • Supports neurotransmitter production – natural chemicals that play an important role in nervous system functions, like attention, focus, mood, and sleep* • 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's Methyl-Guard Plus: • Individuals with mutations 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's 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* • Active forms of vitamins B2 and B6 – key cofactors in methylation processes • B vitamins in their active, tissue-ready forms means your body gets the greatest benefit with the least additional work* • Robust methylation support in fewer capsules per day than Thorne’s original Methyl-Guard®

Warnings

ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. INTERACTIONS 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrently with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, 5-MTHF has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
