Optimal Methylate Chewable by Seeking Health provides a lower dose of methylation support for those who are sensitive to the higher doses found in most methyl support supplements. We’ve included active forms of folate, vitamin B12 and nine other targeted nutrients to help support and optimize healthy methylation processes throughout your body.*Methylation is an extremely important biochemical reaction that’s happening every second in every cell of your body. On the cellular level, methylation is the process of transferring a methyl group (CH3) to a molecule, which activates the molecule so it can be used by the body. For example, attaching a methyl group to folate transforms it into the active form known as 5-MTHF (l-methylfolate), which is the predominant form of folate found in the body and the only form that can cross the blood-brain-barrier. Likewise, adding a methyl group to homocysteine (a marker of inflammation and cardiovascular disease) converts it back into methionine, a harmless amino acid. The addition and removal of methyl groups to and from DNA are responsible for turning genes on and off.People with the MTHFR gene mutation (especially the C677T variety) can have significant reductions in methylation (even if they take plenty of folate) and may benefit from supplementing with activated forms of folate, B12 and other methyl-supportive nutrients.* When you have two copies of the MTHFR gene (homozygous) it becomes even more important to provide methylation support for your body, however, taking high doses can lead to overmethylation. Common symptoms of too much methylation support include headaches, irritability, insomnia, runny nose, body pain, and itchy skin.Optimal Methylate Chewable was created by Dr. Ben Lynch to address the need for an easy-to-take vitamin that supports methylation quickly, comprehensively, and gently.

A hard to find supplement with low levels of B-Vitamins and methyl folate
It is almost impossible to find supplements with low levels of B-Vitamins. Every one is loading them up with massive amounts. For example your body can only absorb a small amount of B-12 at one sitting, so it makes little sense to me to take 8000% at one time. The Optimal Methylate Chewable has lower levels for the key B-Vitamins than any other supplement I have found, but also has small amounts of minerals as well - again in small amounts, that help to utilize the Vitamins. It is better to take multiple doses throughout the day, if necessary, than load up at one time and have most of them ineffective, or in some cases, depending on your situation, toxic. I wanted to go east on the methyl folate to make sure that I did not react to it adversely, so appreciated the low amounts present in this chewable supplement. The taste is tart, but not unpleasant to me. So far, so good.
