Do You Need Methyl-Free Supplements?

Methylated forms of B12 and folate include methylcobalamin and methylfolate, respectively.

Methylated B12 and folate are critical for:*

• Supporting your folate pathway
• MTHFR gene variations
• Normal homocysteine levels
• Proper methylation

But for some, methylated nutrients cause headaches, nervousness, or restlessness.

That’s why Dr. Ben Lynch formulated methyl-free versions of our most popular supplements.

Our line of methyl-free supplements features non-methylated folate (as folinic acid) and B12 (as 'hydroxo' and 'adeno' B12).

Folinic acid (AKA calcium folinate): A methyl-free form of folate that is only a few enzyme steps away from the active form of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). Your body can readily convert folinic acid into the active form of L-5-MTHF.*

Hydroxocobalamin & adenosylcobalamin: Non-methylated forms of vitamin B12 that are readily converted into cobalamin that enters the cell's cobalamin pool. When needed, cobalamin is pulled from this pool for your body to use in various processes, including methylation.*

How do methyl-free supplements work?

Your body can easily convert these non-methyl forms into active methylated forms. Methyl-free forms take a few additional enzyme steps before they become methyl donors. This slower delivery may provide relief and comfort for those sensitive to methylated nutrients.*
