19. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12, an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. Unlike other forms of vitamin B12, such as cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin is already in an active form and does not require conversion by the body. ** See more details at the bottom of the page
20. MethylFolate: Methylfolate, also known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, is the active form of folate, a B-vitamin (B9). It plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, particularly in DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation reactions. Methylation is a fundamental process involved in the regulation of gene expression, neurotransmitter synthesis, hormone regulation, and detoxification pathways. * See more details at the bottom of the page
21. NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine): Acts as a powerful antioxidant, supports liver health, and may help reduce symptoms of respiratory conditions like COPD.
22. NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide): Believed to support cellular energy production, may have anti-aging effects, and is involved in DNA repair.
23. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Supports heart health, brain function, and helps reduce inflammation.
24. Quercetin: Natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound, supports heart health, immune function, and may have antiviral properties.
25. Selenium: Acts as an antioxidant, supports thyroid function, immune health, and may have anti-inflammatory properties.

DETAILS ABOUT VITAMINS B9 & B12 These two supplements were highly recommended my Dr. Carda especially for Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women to help balance hormones, and get rid of lower belly fat! 1. **MethylFolate: Methylfolate, also known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, is the active form of folate, a B-vitamin (B9). It plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, particularly in DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation reactions. Methylation is a fundamental process involved in the regulation of gene expression, neurotransmitter synthesis, hormone regulation, and detoxification pathways.
Here are some of the benefits associated with methylfolate:
Supports Methylation Processes: Methylfolate is essential for methylation reactions in the body, which are critical for various cellular functions and biochemical processes.
Cardiovascular Health: Adequate intake of methylfolate is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. It helps regulate homocysteine levels in the blood. Elevated homocysteine levels are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular problems.
Neurological Health: Methylfolate plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter synthesis, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Adequate levels of methylfolate are important for mood regulation, cognitive function, and overall neurological health.
Fetal Development: During pregnancy, methylfolate is vital for proper fetal development, especially for the development of the neural tube, which forms the brain and spinal cord. Adequate folate intake before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly.
Mood Regulation: Some research suggests that methylfolate supplementation may be beneficial for individuals with depression, particularly those who have a specific genetic variation that affects their ability to metabolize folate.
Cancer Prevention: Adequate folate intake has been linked to a reduced risk of certain types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer. Folate plays a role in DNA synthesis and repair, which are processes involved in preventing the formation of cancerous cells.
2. *Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12, an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. Unlike other forms of vitamin B12, such as cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin is already in an active form and does not require conversion by the body.
Here are some of the benefits associated with methylcobalamin:
Energy Production: Vitamin B12, including methylcobalamin, is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It helps convert food into energy, which is vital for overall cellular function and physical activity.
Nervous System Health: Methylcobalamin plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the nervous system. It is involved in the formation of myelin, a protective sheath that surrounds nerve fibers and facilitates proper nerve transmission. Adequate levels of methylcobalamin are essential for optimal nerve function and may help prevent neurological disorders.
Brain Function: Vitamin B12, particularly in the form of methylcobalamin, is important for cognitive function and brain health. It is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are essential for mood regulation, memory, and concentration.
Red Blood Cell Formation: Methylcobalamin is necessary for the synthesis of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to various tissues and organs throughout the body. Adequate levels of vitamin B12 are essential for the prevention of anemia and maintaining overall health.
Heart Health: Vitamin B12, including methylcobalamin, plays a role in homocysteine metabolism. Elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Adequate intake of methylcobalamin, along with other B-vitamins such as folate and vitamin B6, can help regulate homocysteine levels and support heart health.
Supports Methylation Reactions: Methylcobalamin is a cofactor for methionine synthase, an enzyme involved in methylation reactions in the body. Methylation is a fundamental process that plays a role in DNA synthesis, neurotransmitter metabolism, and detoxification pathways.
