How Betaine and BHMT Influence Your Methylation | SNPit #19
Manage episode 415470350 series 3449048
In this episode, we delve into the pivotal role of the BHMT gene within the body's methylation process.
We discuss how the BHMT enzyme is essential for catalyzing a vital reaction that transforms homocysteine into methionine.
Additionally, we cover the importance of betaine in enhancing the methylation cycle. Betaine acts as a methyl donor, particularly in the reaction facilitated by the BHMT enzyme, making it crucial for reducing homocysteine levels and supporting cardiovascular and neurological health.
We also explore the complexity of methylation pathways and emphasize the need for a comprehensive evaluation of multiple genes to truly understand and optimize methylation.
Be sure to follow our podcast for more expert insights into how betaine, methylation, and genetics can be leveraged to optimize both body and brain health.
