The Methylation Cycle

How Your Body Responds To Inflammation

Think your diet and lifestyle are healthy?

Poor methylation can silently sabotage all of your efforts.

This is something that you can’t afford to ignore.

Methylation determines how well your body responds to inflammation. The more effective your overall methylation cycle, the better your cells are at responding quickly and efficiently to inflammation.

Let’s discuss…

The Methylation Cycle

1) Methionine - The Starter

The methylation cycle begins with methionine—an essential amino acid you can get from meat, fish, and eggs. First, methionine gets converted into S-adenosylmethionine (or SAM) which acts like a delivery truck of sorts.

SAM carries tiny packages, called methyl groups, that your body needs to stay healthy.

2) Methyl Groups - The Helpers

These methyl groups act like little helpers, completing essential tasks like…

  • Turning genes on and off.

  • Detoxifying toxins and harmful substances.

  • Producing important brain chemicals.

While this happens, SAM gets converted into another amino acid, homocysteine.

3) Homocysteine - The Waste

During this process homocysteine acts like waste.

If this waste isn’t properly managed, it’ll cause serious damage to your body. Elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with a number of serious health problems—such as osteoporosis, heart attacks, Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis, and dementia.

This is where B-vitamins come in.

4) B-Vitamins - Recycling The Waste

Your body has two ways to handle the waste.

Homocysteine can be converted back into methionine, restarting the methylation cycle. It can also be broken down into cysteine—an amino acid used to make glutathione, which is your body’s most powerful antioxidant and detoxification chemical.

For this cycle to work smoothly, you need certain B-vitamins:

  • Vitamin B12 and B9 turn homocysteine back into methionine.

  • Vitamin B6 helps convert homocysteine into cystine for glutathione production.

And if you’re not getting enough B-vitamins, homocysteine will accumulate.

But wait… Don’t order any random B-complex.

This is a terrible idea.

Your genetics determine what form of B-vitamins your body can use. Taking random supplements will actually do more harm than good (to your health and bank account).

Don’t make this mistake.

You’ll need our expert guidance.

So if you would like:

  • To receive an in-depth report about your MTHFR, MTRR, MTR, and SHMT1 genes—which determine what forms of B-vitamins your body can use—as well as dozens of other genes that play a crucial role in your body’s methylation cycle.

  • A personalized protocol that supports your unique biology with specific foods, supplements, workouts, and lifestyle interventions to implement.

  • To ask all of your burning questions and receive complete answers from a health and DNA professional that’s worked with thousands of people just like you.
