Product Information

To help come up with this list, we consulted with Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, LDN, CLEC, CPT. Our dietitian Anne Cook Carroll, MS, RD, CDNis constantly reviewing new multivitamins and keeping an eye on the latest research to make sure our recommendations are up-to-date. Your body filters and eliminates excess water-soluble vitamins (the B vitamins and vitamin C), so it is difficult to over-consume these. However, fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, E, D, and K) can be stored in fat tissue and are dangerous when consumed in excess. The minerals iron, calcium, iodine, magnesium, selenium, copper, molybdenum, and manganese also can be damaging if consumed in excess.

If you know you have this genetic mutation or suspect it, then taking supplements that are in their active form can help support optimum methylation. The 7 Nutrients Needed for Methlylation Include:If you prioritize supplements from real foods, Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw B Complex is an excellent choice. While many supplement brands don't list where their vitamins are sourced from, Garden of Life supplements are derived from whole food blends—including foods like organic broccoli and organic spinach. You may find yourself with high mercury, or high copper, or high other heavy metals….though not always. High copper can cause low iron levels. Multivitamins are an excellent addition if a person is not eating a well-balanced diet or they are eliminating entire food groups—which can result in nutrient gaps. People who take certain medications, like oral hormonal birth control, may benefit from taking a multivitamin as well, as this medication may deplete certain vitamin levels when they are taken for a long period of time,” says Manaker. Other people who may benefit from a multivitamin are pregnant people, older adults, and people with malabsorption issues. Abnormalities in the cells of the reproductive tract, cervix and uterine lining which may be diagnosed as cervical dysplasia.

Eating dark green vegetables like brussel sprouts and broccoli is a great way to get natural folate. Influencing the microbiome with healthy flora will improve the absorption of B vitamins and methylated folic acid. The more you eat, the better your body gets at absorption. Those taking individual supplements: “Those who take a variety of nutritional supplements should evaluate whether taking a multivitamin along with their other pills will result in excessive intake of nutrients,” says Manaker. As of now, there is little significant evidence for taking a B-complex supplement to ward off dementia or cognitive decline. However, if your B12 levels are low, taking enough B12 to correct the deficiency may help slow age-related cognitive decline. The benefits of B12 supplementation may be enhanced by having adequate omega-3 fatty acid levels.

Methylation – A Quick Review

Homocysteine is poorly converted to glutathione, which is your body’s chief antioxidant and detoxifier. You are then more susceptible to stress and toxin buildup. When it’s all working right, the MTHFR gene begins a multi-step chemical breakdown process, aka methylation, which in simplified terms, is like this: Because multivitamins contain nutrients that can be toxic in excess, it’s important to choose a supplement that is third-party tested and verified to ensure that the levels on the label match what is in the supplement. Simply put, methylation is a biochemical process – it is the transfer of four atoms – one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms (CH3) – from one substance to another. We support supplements that are evidence-based and rooted in science. We value certain product attributes that we find to be associated with the highest quality products.

Added ingredients: Many multivitamins also contain herbs, antioxidants, enzymes, and probiotics. Because the research on efficacy and safety varies significantly for each different additional ingredient, it’s best to choose a multivitamin without additional ingredients and review the potential benefits of additional supplements with your healthcare provider.

Am J Gastroenterol. 2001;96(3):745-750. doi:10.1111/j.1572-0241.2001.03616.x I’ve had so much relief in the past few days. It’s hard to even explain, Even when I feel exhausted I am calmer and resting better. I will be seeing a practitioner in May will be helping me with methylation issues, But I just couldn’t wait. I was in too much agony. The body needs to prepare them through the methylation process. This process changes vitamins into their methylated, or active, state, and that’s when the body can then use them to keep all its systems running properly. Could there be a non-MTHFR gene mutation condition that would cause a person to not have the necessary enzymes to process synthetic B vitamins?

Patients with the MTHFR mutation need the ready-to-ride bike, as they are unable to assemble one themselves. The ready-to-ride option will put everybody else on the road faster, as well. Hambidge KM.

Am J Clin Nutr. 2010;91(5):1430S-1432S. doi:10.3945/ajcn.2010.28674B This supplement contains 18 milligrams of iron, which is 100% of the recommended daily amount of iron for women ages 19 to 50 years old (non-pregnant and non-lactating). The amount of iron in this supplement may not be needed for men and postmenopausal women, both with an RDA of 8 milligrams, unless they have a diagnosed deficiency or a diet low in iron. Additionally. some people find that supplementing with iron can lead to gastrointestinal distress, including nausea and constipation. However, those side effects are typically associated with higher doses of 45 milligrams per day or more.

Fortunately, medical technology has progressed far enough to offer methylated vitamins. In fact, for most professional level supplement providers, methylated vitamins have been the standard for some time, and the retail space has caught up. This is good news, and not only for those with the MTHFR mutation. Everyone can benefit from the active state of methylated vitamins. The Power of Active Vitamins
