Methylation
A biochemical process occurring billions of times per second that repairs DNA, regulates inflammation, controls detoxification, and produces neurotransmitters.
Deep Dive
Think of Methylation as the 'switches' on your control panel. It turns genes on and off. Every second, billions of methyl groups are transferred between molecules in your cells, governing everything from mood regulation to immune defence to cellular repair.
If your methylation cycle is impaired — often due to variants in the MTHFR gene or deficiencies in B-vitamins — your body cannot effectively detoxify heavy metals, clear histamine, or regulate mood. Elevated homocysteine, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and accelerated ageing are all hallmarks of methylation dysfunction.
Methylation is the engine of cellular repair. Understanding your methylation status through genetic testing allows for targeted interventions — the right forms of B-vitamins, lifestyle modifications, and dietary changes — that can restore this critical process and unlock a level of health that generic supplementation never achieves.
