What Is Methylation?
Methylation is one of the body’s most important biochemical processes. It happens in every cell and affects everything from detoxification and energy production to hormone balance, brain function, cardiovascular health and even DNA repair. When methylation is sluggish or not functioning properly, often due to genetics like the MTHFR mutation, poor diet, stress or nutrient deficiencies, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, mood issues, and inflammation. Supporting methylation helps your body run more efficiently and protects your long-term wellbeing.
