Understand what you're taking
Dr. Stewart's notes on how this formula works and who it's for.
How It Works
Methylation depends on active folate, B12 and B6 working together. It's the process behind energy, neurotransmitters, detox and DNA repair.
Some people can't take methylated B vitamins by mouth: small children who can't swallow capsules, and adults whose stomachs don't tolerate them. This lotion is another way to use them.
The vitamins are absorbed through the skin.
Is This Right for You?
A good fit if you
- Your NineTwo Methylation analysis recommends Methyl B Complex Pro or Topical Methyl B Complex, and swallowing pills is a problem
- You're choosing for a child (see the under-3 guidance below)
- Oral methylated vitamins upset your stomach
Talk to your provider first if you
- Want to use it on a child under 3
- Are pregnant, nursing or planning a pregnancy
- Take methotrexate, seizure medications, or other prescriptions that folate can affect
- Have a skin condition where you'd apply it
- Already take another methylfolate or B12 product, including Methyl B Complex Pro
Good to know
Apply it to skin without hair. For children, the back works best.
Don't apply it to broken skin. If you notice any skin reaction, stop using it.
For external use only.
Store it between 65°F and 80°F, away from direct sunlight and heat. Don't freeze it.
How to Take It
Your genes may already be pointing you here
Topical Methyl B Complex is one of the formulas our Methylation and Cellular Energy Analysis can recommend. The report looks at the genes that shape how you carry folate into your cells and convert it, then shows where your methylation may need support.
FOLR1
Carrying folate into your cells
The lotion supplies active folate in two forms.
MTHFR
Converting folate into active 5-MTHF
L-5-methylfolate is already converted, so this step is skipped.
MTHFS
Moving folinic acid through the folate cycle
The lotion also supplies L-5-methylfolate, which doesn't depend on this step.
