Opti-Methyl-B is a high potency whole food complex B-vitamin formula. Methyl-B contains the active organic forms of the B-Vitamin spectrum. The Opti-Blend mixture of plant enzymes and probiotics pre-digests the whole foods, while the cultured media creates the methylated high potency B-Vitamins found in this formula.
Methylation of B Vitamins is a process in which certain molecules called ‘methyl groups’ are added to various constituents of proteins, DNA and other molecular structures. These are needed to keep them in good ‘working’ condition.
A great example is serotonin, which is the feel good brain chemical. If not methylated it becomes dormant and leads to depression and anxiety. This is just one of the many ‘chemicals’ in the body that need to be methylated. If they are not, it can lead to serious health consequences.
Methyl groups can be delivered easily throughout the entire body with Opti-Methyl B. This therapeutic dosage B vitamin complex formula provides high percentages of the B Vitamins in an organic methylated form.
Homocysteine is implicated in:
- Heart disease and stroke by encouraging the clumping together of platelets
- Higher levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol from reacting with iron and copper ions to produce free radicals
- Dementia and Alzheimer’s
- Liver Disease
- Depression
- Aging in general, in that homocysteine is believed to accelerate the destruction of telomeres
But all the above is only part of the methylation story…
Methylation of certain parts of your DNA can switch off unnecessary genes and prevent abnormal DNA division.Â. This means that these abnormalities are not passed on to future generations of cells…a most important component in successful aging.
As we age, the methylation processes in our bodies start getting tired and become less efficient with a resulting build-up of homocysteine, DNA damage and the development of other flow on effects such as depression.
Therefore, if you don’t take steps to ensure balanced methylation then any hope of a long life free of degenerative diseases is only a remote possibility.
As with everything related to successful aging, methylation must be balanced.Â. Too much can be as bad as too little .Â. Fortunately your body will balance your methylation processes providing that you give it the fuel to perform the task.
The FUEL consists of three groups of compounds that are helpful in methylation with varying levels of efficacy. They are the B Vitamins, B6, B12 and folic acid. Opti-Methyl-B has them all naturally and organically.
The proof is in the testing and using. I previously used either 5-MTHF, or a synthetically methylated whole B and/or SAMe, according to which tested the best. Opti-methyl-B, out tests them all.
OHS also has their organically methylated B in other products. I especially like Male + T and Female + B.
