Maintaining a normal plasma homocysteine level is important for good cardiovascular health. Methyl-Guard provides vitamins B6 and B12, folate and betaine.
Additional Warnings: Long term intake of this amount of vitamin B6 may lead to mild tingling and numbness. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
