Understanding Methylation
Methylation is similar to transforming raw materials into usable forms, playing a role in nearly every biochemical reaction within our cells, happening billions times per second.
Methylation is crucial for numerous body processes, including gene expression, energy production, fat metabolism, immune responses, detoxification and neurotransmitter regulation. Factors like DNA, diet, toxin exposure, and stress influence methylation.
Genetic mutations and deficiencies in key dietary cofactors (e.g., the MTHFR gene) can impair methylation and affect the body’s ability to convert nutrients effectively. This can cause various chronic conditions, such as impaired immunity, fatigue, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, cancers, and mood disorders.
