What are methylated vitamins? | | And do your supplements have them? | | What is methylation? Methylation is the process of 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. What are methylated vitamins? Many vitamins, such as Vitamin B12 and folate, must be methylated to be absorbed properly by the body. The key difference in supplemental vitamins is when this process happens. Non-methylated vitamins must be converted by the body in order to be absorbed, while methylated vitamins are already in their biologically active forms and are can be used by the body immediately. Methylation is fundamental for vitamin absorption. Which vitamins should be methylated? Not all vitamins come in methylated forms. Look for methylated forms of the following B vitamins: • Folate (vitamin B9) as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium or calcium-L-methyltetrahydrofolate • Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin Benefits of taking methylated vitamins Many studies have shown the benefits of methylated vitamins (1, 2), including: ✔️ Immune support ✔️ Improved mood ✔️ Reduced fatigue ✔️ Enhanced cognitive function Key takeaways Overall, methylated vitamins are more bioavailable and more easily absorbed by the body (3). Ensuring your vitamins are methylated is a good way to make sure you're getting the most out of your supplements, and that your body is able to use nutrients quickly and efficiently. | | Tip: Check your supplement ingredients - namely the B vitamins - for the word "methyl" in the ingredient name | | | | |
