Methyl CpG 60ct by Ortho Molecular
Methyl CpG is a comprehensive formula that includes targeted amounts of five key nutrients designed to support methylation and homocysteine balance in the body.
Methylation is a vitamin-requiring biochemical process in the body that is crucial for supporting various aspects of mental and physical health, including the regulation of gene expression. Methylation occurs billions of times every second and helps the body to repair DNA continually. However, when methylation processes in the body slow down, an increase in the breakage of DNA strands can occur. In addition to maintaining DNA repair, methylation reactions help maintain optimal neurotransmitter production, homocysteine balance for cardiovascular health, and the recycling of molecules that are required for detoxification and a healthy inflammatory response. Methylation is also required for proper energy metabolism, immune and nerve cell function. Proper methylation can be inhibited by nutrient deficiencies, including folate, and B2, B6, and B12. Certain medications such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, and oral contraceptives can also deplete blood levels of these crucial B vitamins.
