At MethylPro®, we know supplements can help bridge the gap between our dietary intake and the nutrients our bodies crave. Specifically, we have founded our efforts on the power of L-methylfolate. L-Methylfolate is the most bioavailable form of supplementary folate. And, it has gained recognition for its role in supporting brain function and mood regulation [1]. But, did you know that combining your daily 15 mg dose of L-methylfolate with omega-3 supplements can amplify these benefits even further?
We are excited to announce the launch of our complementary supplement line, starting with the release of an Omega-3 supplement. We chose each product in this line specifically to nourish different aspects of brain health to complement MethylPro® L-methylfolate.
Let’s delve into why adding our Omega-3 supplements to your routine can be a game-changer for your brain and mood. It complements the activities of L-methylfolate, backed by real clinical studies.
The Brain-Boosting Duo: L-Methylfolate and Omega-3
L-Methylfolate is essential for producing neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which are crucial for mood regulation and cognitive function [2]. But, while methylfolate lays the foundation, omega-3 fatty acids –particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)– provide the essential building blocks for both structure and function of a healthy brain [3].
1. Enhanced Neurotransmitter Signaling
Combining methylfolate with omega-3s can optimize neurotransmitter signaling. While L-methylfolate is necessary for the synthesis of mood-related neurotransmitters, omega-3s are necessary for the uptake, release, metabolism, and receptor function of those same good-mood signals in the brain and body [4]. The synergy of these roles alone provides powerful evidence that omega-3s complement L-methylfolate’s role in boosting mood-related neurotransmission.
2. Optimize Neurological Health
Healthy neurons require normal circulation, balanced inflammatory responses, and adequate protection from oxidative stress to thrive [5]. Omega-3s are famous for their support of normal inflammatory balance in both the brain and body, supporting both neuronal and circulatory health [5,6]. Healthy circulation brings a steady supply of nutrients and oxygen to fuel and protect nerves while normal inflammatory balance aids in keeping oxidative stress in check. When paired with methylfolate, which also plays a role in normal inflammatory response [7], the combination can support healthy neuronal structure and function in the brain.
3. Improved Cognitive Function
Maintaining cognitive function is a major concern as we age. Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the body have been associated with promising effects on cognitive performance and brain volume in older adults [8]. When you take L-methylfolate, you support the methylation process, DNA repair, neuronal stability, and brain cell maintenance [9]. Adding omega-3 can further support brain cell structure and function, enhancing memory and learning capabilities.
4. Healthy Mood Support
Both omega-3s and L-methylfolate have been individually linked to the presence of mind in the face of everyday emotional fluctuations. However, each nutrient nourishes different pathways related to mood balance [10]. When inflammation-balancing, brain-supportive omega-3 supplements are combined with L-methylfolate, which helps regulate the production of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, you get a powerful duo that can help keep your mood stable and positive.
Making the Most of Your Supplement Routine
Integrating omega-3s into your daily supplement regimen is simple and highly beneficial. MethylPro®’s new Omega-3 supplement contains an EPA-heavy ratio of EPA to DHA in support of a balanced mood. The capsules are designed to provide a one-a-day dose to complement any daily dose of MethylPro® L-methylfolate. But of course, please speak to your trusted healthcare provider before deciding on the ideal supplement regimen for your individual needs. For optimal absorption, take them with meals that contain healthy fats.
Backed by scientific research, this powerful combination of L-methylfolate and omega-3s supports neurotransmitter production, balances inflammation, enhances cognitive function, and supports balanced mood. Embrace the potential of these nutrients to unlock a healthier, happier you.
Check out our new Omega-3 supplement, and consider adding it to your daily routine. Experience the difference for yourself!
