If you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or weird histamine reactions, methylation might be the missing piece.

It's how your body moves single carbon units around to run thousands of reactions that affect everything from mood to detox capacity.

Here's how it works: Image Think of methylation as your body's biochemical switchboard, moving tiny one-carbon units around to regulate thousands of cellular functions.

At the center of this whole operation, nutrients from the folate and methionine cycles come together to generate something called S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which is basically your universal methyl donor that fuels reactions happening millions of times per second in every single cell.Image
