Methylation is a process your body relies on every day — from supporting your mood and energy to helping you detoxify, this tiny but powerful biochemical process deserves a closer look.
Excellent article. Just curious: I've improved significantly in energy by taking a low dose b vitamin complex everyday, whey protein and moving. Though I benefit well from creatine in terms of muscle recovery after working out, I've experienced on occassion severe dizziness and nausea from taking too much b complex and creatine everyday for more than 4 days. Could it be I'm typically under methylated but with supplementing occassionally over methylating.
Regarding "Assessing Methylation Status," at least 2 labs here in the USA (Genova, Doctor's Data)
offer assays for SAM and SAH. It would seem that direct measurement of those would be particularly useful in evaluating methylation status. In my case for example, it turns out that SAH is above the 5th quintile despite my having a homocysteine which is low normal. Just looking at homocysteine, for me, suggests a more positive methylation picture than actually is the case.
Please share your thoughts on measurement of SAM and SAH in the context of evaluating methylation.
How do probiotic supplements like Align help beneficial microbiota adjust our gut symptoms? B vitamin synthesis? More effective methylation?
Beautiful consort diagram!

Thank you for the excellent overview!
