Homocysteine Support Formula x 60 Capsules
Delivers betaine and bioactive methylfolate (5-MTHF; reduced folic acid), Vitamin B6 (as P5P) and B12 (as methylcobalamin), which contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism.
Homocysteine Support
Nutrigold’s Homocysteine Support Formula provides 400mg of TMG combined with 5mg P5P (Vitamin B6), 250μg 5-MTHF (reduced folic acid) and 10μg methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) per capsule in a hypoallergenic form suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Features and benefits of Homocysteine Support
Key ingredients in Homocysteine Support Formula include:
Trimethylglycine (TMG) provides betaine – also known as a “methyl” donor that is required by the cellular methylation cycle. Folate, Vitamin B6 and B12 – this product specifically contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, normal red blood cell formation and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Bioactive ingredient in Homocysteine Support Formula include:
- Pyridoxine-5-Phosphate (P5P) – the bioactive coenzyme form of Vitamin B6, which can be directly utilised by the body (including in the methylation cycle) without conversion.
- Quatrefolic - a specific clinically validated form of reduced and methylated folate (5-MTHF) with optimum stability and bioavailability. Quatrefolic bypasses the gastric barrier and is absorbed across the digestive tract ready for the cells to utilise, including in those individuals who have the MTHFR enzyme polymorphism. Folates found in food and synthetic folic acid found in some food products are not biologically active and need to be converted to the bioactive reduced and methylated form of folic acid (5-MTHF) by the body. Some individuals, due to their unique genetic patterns and expression (i.e. polymorphisms), do not produce adequate or effective folate converting enzymes (the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase enzyme - MTHFR), which is associated with increased risk of different diseases. This means that the supplement form of folic acid is key for absorption, bioavailability and bioactivity.
- Methylcobalamin – a naturally occurring form of Vitamin B12 that is better absorbed and retained in the tissues compared to synthetic cyanocobalamin.
