Kirkman's
Dimethylglycine (DMG) with
& Methyl B-12 Hypoallergenic Capsules
Folic acid intake and levels in the body must be adequate
for DMG to work biochemically. For this reason, some
physicians recommend a DMG supplement containing folic
acid in the form of
.
To be active in the body, folic acid has to be reduced
twice by folate reductase enzymes and is converted to
tetrahydrofolate after which a methyl group is added
to the tetrahydrofolate. In some individuals, the use
of natural
may be more beneficial than folic acid, because
already has attached four hydrogen atoms and one methyl
group, thereby short cutting the complicated biochemical
processes that assist purine and nucletide synthesis,
which are so important in cell perception and response.
For that reason, some doctors are recommending DMG with
instead of the folic acid form of folate. Kirkman now
offers DMG hypoallergenic capsules containing
and methyl B-12.
Because folic acid can sometimes mask a B-12 deficiency,
vitamin B-12 has been included as well. It is also known
that vitamin B-12 works synergistically with folic acid.
The most active form of B-12 in folate chemistry is
methylcobalamin and Kirkman utilizes this form of B-12
in this product. This new DMG product may better assist
methionine metabolism, methylation, and folate chemistry.
