Methyl Donors is formulated with methyl group donors and supporting nutrients to facilitate methylation. Methylation is inhibited by poor dietary habits (excessive protein and fat or inadequate nutrient content), alcohol, smoking and genetic predisposition. Impairment of methylation results in elevated levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid and a serious health risk. Homocysteine is reduced to methionine, a biologically useful amino acid, by enzymes that require folic acid, B12, B6 and methyl groups. Intrinsic factor facilitates the absorption of B12.
