MethylCare® by Metagenics – Methylation and Homocysteine Metabolism Support
MethylCare® by Metagenics is a comprehensive methylation support supplement formulated with biologically active folate, methylated vitamin B12, vitamin B6, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, and betaine HCl. This practitioner-formulated combination supports the transfer of methyl groups needed for normal cellular activity, amino acid metabolism, and cardiovascular function.
Designed for adults seeking targeted nutritional support rather than a general multivitamin, MethylCare provides a convenient combination of methylated B vitamins and complementary nutrients. Its formula promotes healthy homocysteine metabolism, assists normal energy production, and supplies body-ready folate that can be used without first being converted from folic acid.
Key MethylCare Benefits
- Supports healthy methylation pathways involved in numerous normal cellular processes.
- Promotes balanced homocysteine metabolism with active folate, vitamins B6 and B12, and betaine.
- Supports normal cardiovascular function and healthy energy production.
- Assists the metabolism of amino acids and other essential nutrients.
- Provides antioxidant-related nutritional support through N-acetyl-L-cysteine.
How MethylCare Works
Methylation is a normal biochemical process in which the body transfers methyl groups between molecules. These reactions assist the metabolism of homocysteine and amino acids while supporting cellular maintenance, energy production, and normal nervous system and cardiovascular functions. MethylCare supplies calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a biologically active form of folate, together with methylcobalamin vitamin B12 and vitamin B6. These nutrients serve as cofactors in interconnected metabolic pathways that help recycle homocysteine and maintain normal methylation activity. Betaine HCl provides an additional methylation-supporting nutrient, while N-acetyl-L-cysteine supplies cysteine used by the body for glutathione production. Zinc, manganese, molybdenum, and riboflavin provide further nutritional support for normal enzyme activity and nutrient metabolism.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate: Provides active folate in a form that is ready for the body to use in methylation and homocysteine metabolism.
- Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin: Supports methyl-group transfer, red blood cell formation, neurological function, and energy metabolism.
- Vitamin B6: Assists amino acid metabolism and normal homocysteine conversion pathways.
- N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine: Supplies cysteine for the body’s natural production of glutathione and supports antioxidant defenses.
- Betaine HCl: Provides betaine to support an additional pathway for healthy homocysteine metabolism.
This non-GMO, gluten-free formula is supplied in vegetarian capsules. Because it delivers concentrated amounts of folate, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and other targeted nutrients, it is intended to complement an individualized nutrition plan rather than function as a complete daily multivitamin.
MethylCare Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking targeted folate and B12 support.
- Individuals working with a practitioner to support healthy methylation and homocysteine metabolism.
- Those who prefer biologically active folate and methylated vitamin B12.
- People seeking nutritional support for cardiovascular function, cellular energy, and amino acid metabolism.
Supplements support your health but do not replace a balanced diet. Always check with your healthcare practitioner if you have doubts about a new supplement. Or you may book a FREE product consultation with Holistic Health Partners, led by Carolyn Mulally BS, RN, HN-BC.

Recommendation: MethylCare may be appropriate when a healthcare practitioner recommends concentrated methylation nutrients, active folate, or support for normal homocysteine metabolism. Take 2 capsules once daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Individual nutritional needs vary, particularly when using other products containing folate or B vitamins.
