Ingredients explained
Betaine Anhydrous (Trimethylglycine)
Betaine donates methyl groups that help remethylate homocysteine to methionine, supporting normal methylation processes.
Caution: May affect those on low-methionine diets or sensitive to large methyl donor intakes; start with the suggested serving to gauge tolerance.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin serves as a cofactor for methionine synthase, which uses methyl groups to convert homocysteine to methionine.
Caution: High-potency B12 can mask unrecognized low folate status; take as directed and consider consistency rather than large sporadic doses.
Folate (as L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate)
L-5-MTHF provides the bioactive folate form that supplies methyl groups to homocysteine via methionine synthase.
Caution: High folate intake may interact with certain medications and can hide signs of low vitamin B12; use as directed.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate)
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is a coenzyme for cystathionine beta-synthase, which helps channel homocysteine through the transsulfuration pathway.
Caution: Excessive vitamin B6 over time may cause tingling or numbness; do not exceed suggested use.
How they work together
Betaine and methylcobalamin provide methyl groups and enzymatic support for remethylating homocysteine to methionine. L-5-MTHF supplies the active folate needed for this step, while pyridoxal 5'-phosphate supports the alternate transsulfuration route. Together these pathways help maintain balanced methylation activity.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant, consult a health-care practitioner before use.
Who should be cautious: People on high-dose vitamin B supplements or with B-vitamin sensitivities may want to discuss dosing with a clinician. Those with a history of kidney stones or on a low-methionine/low-protein plan may wish to review betaine intake with a healthcare provider.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
