Methyl B Complex
BioCare Methyl B Complex supplements contain B vitamins in their methylated forms, which means that the vitamins have been converted into their methylated forms for enhanced bioavailability and utilization by the body.
This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty metabolizing or absorbing certain forms of B vitamins, such as those with genetic variations that affect methylation pathways or those with specific health conditions.
Here are the key components typically found in a methyl B-complex supplement:
1. **Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12):** Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12 that is readily absorbed and utilized by the body. It plays a crucial role in energy metabolism, nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis.
2. **Methylfolate (Vitamin B9):** Methylfolate is the active form of vitamin B9 (folate) that is involved in numerous biological processes, including DNA synthesis, cell division, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Methylfolate is especially important for pregnant women and individuals with certain genetic variations (such as the MTHFR gene mutation) that affect folate metabolism.
3. **Pyridoxal-5′-Phosphate (Vitamin B6):** Pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (P-5-P) is the active form of vitamin B6 that participates in over 100 enzymatic reactions in the body, including amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and glycogen breakdown. P-5-P is readily absorbed and utilized by the body.
4. **Riboflavin-5′-Phosphate (Vitamin B2):** Riboflavin-5′-phosphate is the active form of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) that is involved in energy production, antioxidant defense, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
5. **Thiamine Pyrophosphate (Vitamin B1):** Thiamine pyrophosphate is the active form of vitamin B1 (thiamine) that plays a critical role in energy metabolism, nerve function, and carbohydrate metabolism.
6. **Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):** Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that does not cause flushing, a common side effect associated with other forms of niacin. It is involved in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and skin health.
Methyl B-complex supplements are commonly used to support overall health and well-being, including energy production, nervous system function, cardiovascular health, and mood regulation.
They may be particularly beneficial for individuals with methylation-related genetic variations, malabsorption issues, or specific health conditions that require higher doses or more bioavailable forms of B vitamins.
As with any supplement, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting methyl B-complex supplementation, especially if you have underlying health conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking medications.
They can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs and circumstances.
- High potency B Complex with methylfolate and methyl B12
- Effective – Supports energy, mental health and wellbeing, hormone production and methylation
- Advanced – Provides the metabolically active forms of B vitamins including folate as methylfolate, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin and vitamin B6 as P-5-P
- Optimum support – Methylated forms of B vitamins have been shown to be better absorbed and used by the body
- Superior – Some individuals are less able to efficiently convert folic acid to methylfolate due to genetic variations in the activity of the MTHFR enzyme, therefore taking methylfolate is a more effective option for everyone
