Thorne Methyl-Guard®, 180 Capsules
UPC: 693749787037
Thorne's Methyl-Guard® is a dietary supplement formulated to support methylation processes, which the manufacturer associates with cardiovascular, cognitive, and bone health. It provides active forms of B vitamins and betaine, including L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as a glucosamine salt, methylcobalamin, and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, along with 1.8 grams of betaine anhydrous per three-capsule serving.
According to Thorne, this product was the first on the market to focus on homocysteine metabolism using nutrients in their active, tissue-ready forms. The manufacturer notes that the inclusion of 5-MTHF is intended for individuals who may have inefficiencies in converting folic acid to its active form due to genetic factors. The formula is designed to provide cofactors that help maintain normal homocysteine levels, referencing studies on these nutrients.
Available in a 180-capsule bottle providing 60 servings, it comes in a vegetarian capsule and is gluten-free.
