Composition and Potential Benefits of This Supplement for Homocysteine Balance*
Understanding Homocysteine and Its Role in Wellness*
Homocysteine is an amino acid naturally produced in the body as part of the methylation cycle, a key metabolic process involved in many cellular functions.*
Its levels in the body can vary due to factors such as genetics, age, nutrient intake, or overall lifestyle habits.* In some cases, elevated homocysteine levels may reflect an imbalance that can be addressed through targeted nutritional support.*
Scientific research has explored the potential link between homocysteine and areas of health such as cardiovascular wellness, cognitive support, and cellular function.* This supplement offers a blend of key nutrients that help support the normal metabolism of homocysteine as part of a balanced routine.*
Five Key Nutrients to Help Support Normal Homocysteine Metabolism*
This formula features five bioactive nutrients that have been studied for their roles in supporting healthy homocysteine metabolism as part of the body’s natural methylation processes:*
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate): The active form of vitamin B6 contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine and may support various enzymatic reactions involved in amino acid pathways.*
- Vitamin B9 (Quatrefolic® 5-MTHF): This advanced, bioavailable form of folate helps support the remethylation of homocysteine, a key part of maintaining balanced homocysteine levels.*
- Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin): In its methylated form, B12 contributes to the body’s natural homocysteine metabolism and may help maintain normal energy and cellular function.*
- Anhydrous Betaine (Trimethylglycine): Betaine is a nutrient that may provide methyl groups to support homocysteine balance, and its anhydrous form ensures greater stability and consistent potency.*
- Choline (from choline bitartrate): Choline plays a role in methyl group donation and may assist in the conversion of homocysteine as part of the methylation cycle. It also contributes to normal lipid metabolism.*
Five Key Features of This Homocysteine Support Formula*
Our Homocysteine Control supplement features:
- A research-informed nutrient combination: This formula brings together five well-studied nutrients that may help support normal homocysteine metabolism and overall methylation balance.*
- Thoughtfully selected dosages: Each ingredient is included in optimized amounts, reflecting levels used in scientific studies that explore their contribution to homocysteine regulation and biochemical processes.*
- Use of bioactive forms only: The nutrients are provided in ready-to-use, active forms, which may help ensure greater consistency and availability—particularly useful for individuals with genetic variations or age-related changes in nutrient conversion capacity.*
- Quatrefolic®: For vitamin B9, we use Quatrefolic®, a patented and award-winning form of 5-MTHF known for its stability and bioavailability. It is often selected for its compatibility with the body’s natural folate metabolism.*
- A clean, vegetarian-friendly delivery: Provided in hypromellose (HPMC) capsules with no unnecessary additives or excipients, this formula is designed with purity and simplicity in mind.
