Thorne Methyl-Guard Plus
Support cellular energy production, heart health, brain function, and mood with nutrients that optimize methylation*
Methyl-Guard Plus provides superior methyl donors – trimethylglycine, 5-MTHF, and methylcobalamin – combined with bioactive vitamins B2 and B6 in a powerhouse formula for whole-body methylation support.*
Various conditions and stressors can have an adverse impact on the body’s methylation cycle. Nutrient deficiencies, environmental exposures, and other aspects of a modern lifestyle can cause inefficient methylation. In addition, approximately 60 percent of U.S. adults have a genetic variation that makes it difficult for their methylation cycle to function optimally.
Thorne’s Methyl-Guard Plus features betaine (trimethylgycine), methylated vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF), as well as the active forms of vitamins B2 and B6, for providing efficient nutritional support for the body’s methylation challenges.*

Why is methylation important:
Methylation is a simple reaction where a small molecule known as a “methyl group” is transferred from one substance to another. Methylation significantly impacts many biochemical reactions in the body and plays a beneficial role in:
- Cardiovascular health
- Cellular energy production
- Fat metabolism
- Neurological function
- DNA production
- Liver detoxification processes
- Eye health
- Histamine balance

INTERACTIONS
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrently with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, 5-MTHF has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
