Our MultiVitamin includes both methylated and chelated ingredients to ensure optimal absorption and efficacy. This article explains the differences between these two forms and their benefits.
Methylated Ingredients
-
Definition:
- Methylation: Methylation is a biochemical process that involves the addition of a methyl group (one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms) to a molecule. This process is crucial for many bodily functions, including DNA repair, detoxification, and neurotransmitter production.
-
Benefits:
- Enhanced Bioavailability: Methylated forms of vitamins, such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12), are more readily absorbed and utilized by the body. This is especially important for individuals with genetic variations that affect methylation pathways.
- Support for Methylation Pathways: Methylated vitamins support the body's natural methylation processes, which are essential for overall health and wellness.
Chelated Ingredients
-
Definition:
- Chelation: Chelation is a process where minerals are bound to organic molecules, typically amino acids, to form a stable complex. This process enhances the absorption and utilization of minerals in the body.
-
Benefits:
- Improved Absorption: Chelated minerals, such as magnesium glycinate or zinc picolinate, are more easily absorbed in the digestive tract compared to their non-chelated counterparts. This is because the chelation process mimics the way minerals are naturally found in food.
- Reduced Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Chelated minerals are generally gentler on the stomach and less likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea or constipation.
Why We Use Both Forms
-
Maximizing Absorption:
- Targeted Delivery: By including both methylated and chelated ingredients, our MultiVitamin is designed to maximize the absorption and effectiveness of each nutrient. This ensures that your body receives the nutrients it needs in the most bioavailable forms.
-
Addressing Individual Needs:
- Genetic Variations: Some individuals may have genetic variations that affect their ability to methylate certain vitamins. Including methylated forms helps accommodate these variations, ensuring everyone can benefit from our MultiVitamin.
- Enhanced Mineral Uptake: Chelated minerals improve the uptake and utilization of essential minerals, supporting various bodily functions and overall health.
Our MultiVitamin includes both methylated and chelated ingredients to provide optimal absorption and efficacy. Methylated vitamins support the body's natural methylation processes, while chelated minerals enhance mineral absorption and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
