Beyond the diet and supplements, the only other source of choline is via de novo synthesis from phosphatidylcholine which requires significant amounts of SAMe via the PEMT pathway (3 mole SAM to produce 1 mole choline) and produces homocysteine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deficiency of Choline will therefore put an increased additional burden on potentially already strained SAMe\/Methylation levels, in those exhibiting insufficient methylation capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable evidence suggests that Folate deficiency can be partly compensated for when more Choline is available, and vice versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, Choline and Phosphatidylcholine were depleted in the livers of rats fed a Folate-deficient diet.5 In turn, consumption of a Choline-deficient diet decreased hepatic Folate stores6 and lowered Methionine formation in animal livers by 20%–25%,7 due to less Choline being available for conversion into Betaine. The effects of Choline deficiency on reducing liver SAMe (by 60%) and increasing liver SAH (by 50%) were pronounced.7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementation with Choline can therefore prove to be an invaluable if not essential co-prescription with any methylated B vitamins in the clinical treatment of methylation insufficiencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eSupplements that include the preferable form ‘Choline Dihydrogen Citrate’ in combination with methylated Folate and B12, such as Research Nutrition’s Methyl Fortify, may provide maximum utility in patients requiring comprehensive methylation support.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, if you just want to use Methyl Folate on its own Research Nutrition’s L-5MTHF provides 500 mcg per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about how to quench excess methyl groups?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNiacinamide B3 represents an invaluable clinical tool for balancing methylation protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism of action is attributed to the conversion of Niacinamide into 1-Methyl-Niacinamide after receiving a methyl group via the Niacinamide n-methyltransferase (NNMT) enzyme. NNMT shunts Niacinamide away from NAD+ formation, using S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) as its methyl donor. Clinical observations indicate a dose of 150mg Niacinamide appears to begin quenching excess methyl groups, with 500mg or more being required to make a noticeable impact in most individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObeid R.

Beyond the diet and supplements, the only other source of choline is via de novo synthesis from phosphatidylcholine which requires significant amounts of SAMe via the PEMT pathway (3 mole SAM to produce 1 mole choline) and produces homocysteine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deficiency of Choline will therefore put an increased additional burden on potentially already strained SAMe\/Methylation levels, in those exhibiting insufficient methylation capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable evidence suggests that Folate deficiency can be partly compensated for when more Choline is available, and vice versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, Choline and Phosphatidylcholine were depleted in the livers of rats fed a Folate-deficient diet.5 In turn, consumption of a Choline-deficient diet decreased hepatic Folate stores6 and lowered Methionine formation in animal livers by 20%–25%,7 due to less Choline being available for conversion into Betaine. The effects of Choline deficiency on reducing liver SAMe (by 60%) and increasing liver SAH (by 50%) were pronounced.7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementation with Choline can therefore prove to be an invaluable if not essential co-prescription with any methylated B vitamins in the clinical treatment of methylation insufficiencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eSupplements that include the preferable form ‘Choline Dihydrogen Citrate’ in combination with methylated Folate and B12, such as Research Nutrition’s Methyl Fortify, may provide maximum utility in patients requiring comprehensive methylation support.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, if you just want to use Methyl Folate on its own Research Nutrition’s L-5MTHF provides 500 mcg per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about how to quench excess methyl groups?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNiacinamide B3 represents an invaluable clinical tool for balancing methylation protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism of action is attributed to the conversion of Niacinamide into 1-Methyl-Niacinamide after receiving a methyl group via the Niacinamide n-methyltransferase (NNMT) enzyme. NNMT shunts Niacinamide away from NAD+ formation, using S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) as its methyl donor. Clinical observations indicate a dose of 150mg Niacinamide appears to begin quenching excess methyl groups, with 500mg or more being required to make a noticeable impact in most individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObeid R.
