🔬 What Is Methylation and Why It Matters for Your Energy & Health
Ever feel tired, foggy, or just “off” even when you’re eating well and taking vitamins? 🥱 The culprit might be methylation — a key biochemical process your body relies on to function at its best.
At Summit Health & Wellness in Las Vegas, we focus on optimizing methylation with IV therapy and methylated B vitamins to help you feel energized, focused, and balanced.
⚡ What Is Methylation?
Methylation is a process in every cell that helps your body:
Produce energy 🔋
Support detoxification ♻️
Balance mood and stress 🧘♀️
Regulate hormones 💃
Create neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine 🧠
When methylation is impaired, common symptoms include:
Chronic fatigue
Brain fog
Anxiety or low mood 😔
Poor detoxification
Hormone imbalances
🧬 The MTHFR Gene: Why Genetics Matter
The MTHFR gene plays a huge role in methylation by converting folate into its active, usable form: methylfolate.
People with MTHFR gene variations may struggle to process B vitamins effectively. This can lead to:
Low energy
Difficulty detoxifying
Mood imbalances
Reduced neurotransmitter production
💡 Basically, your genetics can determine how well your body actually uses the vitamins you take.
💉 Why the Type of B12 You Take Is Critical
Many places use cyanocobalamin for B12, but here’s the problem:
It’s a synthetic form with a small cyanide molecule that your liver must remove
People with MTHFR or COMT gene variations often can’t convert it efficiently
You might not get the full benefit — and could even feel jittery
That’s why we use hydroxycobalamin in our IV therapy at Summit Health & Wellness:
Converts easily into active forms (methyl- & adenosylcobalamin)
Long-lasting, balanced energy ⚡
Gentle on the nervous system
Perfect for those with MTHFR or COMT variants
🌱 How to Support Methylation Naturally
In addition to IV therapy, supporting methylation through nutrition and supplements is key:
Methylated B vitamins (methylfolate, methylcobalamin, B6, riboflavin)
Magnesium & Zinc
Choline & TMG (trimethylglycine)
Antioxidants like glutathione 🛡️
You can find professional-grade methylated B vitamins in my Fullscript Store — trusted, practitioner-grade products delivered straight to you.
✅ Bottom Line
Methylation impacts your energy, mood, detoxification, and overall health. Choosing the right type of B12 and supporting your methylation pathways can make a noticeable difference.
At Summit Health & Wellness in Las Vegas, we combine expert IV therapy with hydroxycobalamin and methylated vitamins to help your body thrive. 🌟
