methylation imbalance....
when eye started this process.... eye had significant methylation imbalance.... eye had biological markers that were very high and low.... indicating that there was a serious imbalance.... the test that eye took.... called the metabolomix.... rates the need for support from one to ten.... with a ten meaning that you need the most support.... my need for support was at an eight in the beginning.... very high....
the table below shows the markers that were high or low.... indicating my need for methylation support.... it also shows my current levels.... showing the improvements that eye have made.... in just one year.... as you can see.... eye have made significant improvements in just one year.... eye will be doing another metabolomix test in six months.... my overall need for methylation support.... is now zero.... indicating NO need for support....
| methylation imbalance | |||
| marker levels | cause | 6/28/23 | 8/25/24 |
| methylmalonic acid | vitamin b-12 deficiency | high (extremely) | normal (high) |
| methionine | poor diet or digestive issues | normal | normal |
| figlu | vitamin b-12 or folate deficiency | normal | normal |
| sarcosine | deficiency in sarcosine dehydrogenase | high (extremely) | normal (high) |
| vanilmandelic acid | caused by stress or certain adrenal conditions or medications | high | normal |
| arginine | arginase is not working correctly | high (extremely) | normal |
| glycine | levels are low with diabetes, hypothyroidism, obesity and after intense exercise | normal | normal |
| serine | high serine diet or deficiency in vitamin b-1 or b-6 or b-12 or b-9 or betaine | high | normal |
| creatinine | low levels may indicate malnutrition or limited muscle mass or a sign of aging | low (extremely) | normal (low) |
as you can see.... the cause of some of these imbalances.... are due to nutrient deficiency....
the methylation process requires vitamins b-1 and b-6 and b-9 and b-12 and betaine to function properly....
the table below lists the essential nutrients for the methylation process.... the levels when eye first started out.... the action that eye am taking to improve the levels.... and.... the current levels....
