Methylation is a simple biochemical process – it is the transfer of four atoms - one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms (CH3) from one substance to another. The addition of methyl groups can affect how some molecules act in the body.
When optimal methylation occurs, it has a significant positive impact on many biochemical reactions in the body that regulate the activity of the cardiovascular, neurological, reproductive, and detoxification systems, including those relating to:
DNA production
Neurotransmitter production
Detoxification
Histamine metabolism
Estrogen metabolism
Eye health
Fat metabolism
Cellular energy
Liver health
Why is methylation important?
The body is a very complex machine, with various gears and switches that need to be all functioning properly to operate optimally. Think of methylation, and the opposite action, demethylation, as the mechanism that allows the gears to turn, and turns biological switches on and off for a host of systems in the body.
How does methylation happen?
CH3 is provided to the body through a universal methyl donor known as SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine). SAMe readily gives away its methyl group to other substances in the body, which enables the cardiovascular, neurological, reproductive, and detoxification systems to perform their functions.
Unfortunately, the system that produces SAMe is reliant on one switch being turned on by a critical B vitamin, 5-MTHF (also known as active folate or methylfolate).
Simply put, if enough 5-MTHF is present, the methylation cycle will work efficiently.
Folic acid from the diet or supplements must be converted to this active form, 5-MTHF, before it can be used in the body in the methylation cycle. Unfortunately, approximately 60% of people in the United States have a genetic mutation that makes it challenging for their bodies to create enough 5-MTHF.
You are responsible for your Health- Wake up
When the methylation switch is turned off and isn’t creating enough SAMe, then a number of important molecules cannot be efficiently produced, including:
Glutathione
Coenzyme Q10
Melatonin
Serotonin
Nitric Oxide
Norepinephrine
Epinephrine
L-Carnitine
Cysteine
Taurine
The good news
First, you can have a simple and easy genetic test to find out if you have a problem with your methylation cycle. This test looks at specific enzymes that are affected by your genetic makeup, including the enzyme MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase), which is the most important enzyme involved in creating 5-MTHF.
Improving the methylation cycle
In addition to a healthy, whole-food, non-processed food diet, make sure you are eating a lot of these foods:
Asparagus
Avocado
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Green, leafy vegetables
Legumes (peas, beans, lentils)
Rice
Lifestyle changes include:
Engaging in regular physical exercise
Avoiding excessive alcohol consumption
Quitting smoking
Avoiding excessive coffee consumption (not more than five cups daily)
7 essential nutrients for methylation- only on this test
There are seven specific nutrients that can help the methylation cycle achieve optimal performance, even if an individual has the genetic mutation that slows down the methylation cycle.
5-MTHF (active folate)
Methylcobalamin (active vitamin B12)
Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate (active vitamin B6)
Riboflavin 5’-Phosphate (active vitamin B2)
Magnesium
Betaine (also known as trimethylglycine)
Vitamin D
Proper methylation influences so many systems in our bodies that it often gets overlooked, which can severely impact how well your body functions. Ask your health-care provider for advice if you have any concerns about your CH3 cycle.
QUANLIM LIFE
It's all good- to start taking all these products- but unless you know what is the real problem -you will do a lot of harm. Don't go into a health shop or online to order all this - it will not help unless you got the real results. This only one TEST - we can do all of them -
You body need to convert whatever you give it in a way that it and use it- PHARMA en medical world don't like this - it will eventually make their profit less.
TAKE NOTE - So don't RUSH and buy all these methylated Health products- unless you kno what is really wrong- you will hit another problem.
We at Quanlim Life can do these tests and more with a full Scan of your health. We have all the products and more to treat you in the real way.
In USA you wil pay $600 for a test in South Africa almost R4000- and its a blood test and their is more to this.
Qunalim life will do a whole SCAN of your health system in the correct way.
