Description
Methylation blood work analyzes and measures the status of your body’s methylation processes, which are crucial for DNA regulation, gene expression, detoxification, energy production, and immune function. Specifically, it typically assesses levels of key nutrients and markers involved in methylation pathways, such as:
- Homocysteine: Elevated levels can indicate methylation imbalances or deficiencies in B vitamins.
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): Essential for methylation; deficiencies can impair methylation processes.
- Folate (Vitamin B9): Critical for DNA synthesis and methylation; levels inform about folate status.
- Methylmalonic acid (MMA): Elevated levels can suggest B12 deficiency.
- Other markers: Sometimes, levels of SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) and SAH (S-adenosylhomocysteine) are measured, which directly relate to methylation capacity.
