The Importance of Methylation
A methyl group is basically one Carbon molecule attached to 3 Hydrogen molecules. These methyl groups facilitate enzymes and different processes in the body to work more effectively. For example any gene that has a MT at the end, like COMT, this requires a methyl group to work efficiently and properly.
SAMe is the body’s major methyl donor.
At the root of methylation is the MTHFR gene, which helps convert folate to a methylated form. The methylation process is important for making neurotransmitters, energy, clotting and detoxification.
