PURSER WELLNESSWhy do I need methylated B Vitamins? From the reading room

Many vitamins and minerals go through the methylation cycle meaning a methyl group is added to a molecule to turn it into its active form. Individuals with MTHFR and other genetic methylation errors are unable to efficiently create the methylated versions of those certain vitamins and minerals. Those with MTHFR specifically cannot make enough 5-MTHF, an activated form of folate, which in turn prohibits the ability to methylate other vitamins. These errors can lead to a number of cellular deficiencies which can cause chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression (BASICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A SLUG) and

Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant. Our bodies depend on GSH for the removal of toxins and GSH is at the heart of all immune functions. Glutathione is a tripeptide (L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine, and Glycine) that is known as the most prominent nonenzymatic antioxidant in the human body, and is a substrate of a regulatory system of enzymes involved in regulating glutathione
