Purpose
A complex synergist formula containing bioactive forms of B vitamins, making it easy for the body to absorb.
This broad-spectrum formula supports the methylation cycle, without adding methyl ingredients. This is especially important for patients who tend to over-methylate. It contains:
- Folinic acid, which readily converts to methylfolate without delivering excess external methyl groups; and
- Hydroxy-B12 which the body converts to methyl-B12, without introducing external methyl groups.
Main functions of Hydroxy B Complex
Hydroxy B Complex supports red blood cell health and helps reduce homocysteine levels in healthy individuals. It supports energy levels and a healthy stress response in the body. Hydroxy B Complex aids in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and helps to support nervous and immune system health. It assists protein synthesis in the body and supports healthy growth and development.
- Maintain energy production
- Support nervous system
- Adrenal support
- Neurotransmitter synthesis
Mechanism of action of Hydroxy B Complex
- B2, B6, B9, B12 and choline support healthy methylation and homocysteine metabolism. Facilitated metabolism of homocysteine, without contributing to over-methylation. Folinic acid, combined with hydroxy B12 and Nicotinamide (B3) are cofactors required to convert homocysteine to cysteine, methionine and other important amino acids like glutathione.
- B-vitamins comprise a group of water-soluble vitamins that perform essential, closely interrelated roles in cellular functioning, acting as co-enzymes in a vast array of catabolic and anabolic enzymatic reactions. Their collective effects are particularly prevalent in numerous aspects of brain function, including energy production, DNA/RNA synthesis/repair, methylation, and the synthesis of numerous neurochemicals and signalling molecules.
Potential Signs and Symptoms of Over Methylation
- Patient may express ‘feeling weird, strange’
- Patient may have compulsive thoughts
- Symptoms are worse after treatment with methyl products
- Patient tests positive for COMT SNP (especially if homozygous)
- Patient tests positive for both COMT and MTHFR SNP
Summary of Actives, Needs and Benefits
Actives | Needs | Benefits |
Combined synergistic formula to aid the metabolism homocysteine | High homocysteine levels in a COMT positive patient, who reacts poorly to methyl products | Reduced risks associated with raised plasma homocysteine levels. E.g. improved cardiovascular parameters |
Folinic acid (500mcg) Non-methylated, active form of folate |
Patients who react negatively to methyl products. E.g. may state they feel “weird or strange” Contributes to normal growth and cellular replication, including foetal growth | Provision of activated folate (↑ absorption) to treat methylation in those sensitive to methyl products, e.g. COMT positive SNP |
Hydroxy B12 (500mcg) | Non-methylated form of B12 | Stimulating the methylation cycle without risking over methylation |
Nicotinamide, B3 (50mg) | Patients with an excess of systemic methylation products | Correction of excess systemic methyl products, improving patient symptoms associated with being over methylated |
Vitamins B5 and B6 |
B6 is essential for amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. B5 is a substrate for the synthesis of coenzyme A, which is involved in the subsequent synthesis of neurotransmitters and steroid hormones. |
Useful in times of stress, supporting adrenal hormone production |
Vitamins B1, B5, B6 and B12 | Support healthy nervous system function | |
Vitamins B9 and B12 | Assists in maintaining normal blood and red blood cell production | Supports the health of the cardiovascular system |
Biotin | Supports healthy blood sugar, carbohydrate metabolism and hair health | |
Choline | Choline is a component of cell membranes and provides key support for optimal cellular function | May be beneficial for healthy liver function, detoxification processes and supporting brain function and cognition |
