Homocysteine Nutrients (Formerly HomocysteX Plus) – 60 capsules

• Folate (L-methylfolate or 5-MTHF): Superior form of folate. Can readily donate its methyl groups to break down homocysteine and support your entire methylation cycle. 5-MTHF is the preferred form of folate in the human body and is far superior to folic acid.^†
• Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin & adenosylcobalamin): Act as cofactors to support homocysteine regulation. B12 accepts a methyl group from 5-MTHF to aid the conversion of homocysteine into the beneficial amino acid methionine.^†
• R-5-P (riboflavin 5’-phosphate): The active form of vitamin B2 (riboflavin). R-5-P is a coenzyme for the MTRR and MTHFR enzymes that support homocysteine conversion into beneficial methionine. Riboflavin also assists in the process of releasing energy from carbohydrates.^†
• P-5-P (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate): The active, readily available coenzyme form of vitamin B6. P-5-P is required by over 140 enzyme reactions in the body. It is a coenzyme for the CBS and CTH enzymes that convert homocysteine into the amino acid cysteine. Cysteine can then be used to make glutathione, taurine, and sulfate–all important compounds utilized in detoxification pathways.^†
• Betaine (TMG): Also known as trimethylglycine or TMG. Betaine is a powerful and important methyl donor in the body, especially for those with MTHFR polymorphisms. Betaine acts as a coenzyme to increase BHMT enzyme activity. Betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) is an enzyme that converts homocysteine into the beneficial amino acid methionine, particularly in liver cells.^†
