The Vital Process Called Methylation
How Genetic Variations Affect Methylation
One common reason for methylation problems is genetic variation. Specifically, the MTHFR polymorphism (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) can impact how your body converts folic acid (vitamin B9) into its active form, methylfolate. Methylfolate is essential for producing important neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which regulate your mood and mental health.
If you have MTHFR polymorphism, it may be a sign that your body struggles with this conversion process. But that’s not the only potential issue. Other genetic variations, or polymorphisms, in the pathways that process vitamins and minerals, may be present. Since various vitamins and minerals are necessary for proper methylation, even a slight malfunction can create a ripple effect that impacts mental and physical health.
Why Is Methylation So Important for Mental Health?
Methylation affects more than just neurotransmitter production. It also plays a role in producing DNA, supporting glutathione (a key antioxidant naturally occurring in your body), and regulating overall cellular function. When methylation is incomplete or dysfunctional, it can contribute to a wide range of health issues, including mental health disorders and cognitive challenges.
For individuals with genetic variations like MTHFR polymorphism, managing mental health may require additional support to ensure proper methylation. This is where methylated vitamins and minerals come in like that found in EnLyte. These specially formulated nutrients are already in their active form, making them easier for your body to use—especially if your genetic makeup prevents normal vitamin metabolism.
The ingredients in EnLyte address the root cause of depression, not just the symptoms of depression…it’s a real paradigm shift

The Solution: How EnLyte Supports Methylation and Mental Health
For individuals experiencing challenges with methylation, the solution may lie in supporting the body with micronutrients in their most active form. EnLyte was specifically designed for this purpose—to enhance the methylation process and address the biochemical root causes of depression and other psychiatric disorders.
What Makes EnLyte Unique?
EnLyte is an FDA regulated medical food that contains L-methylfolate, along with other essential B vitamin coenzymes and mineral cofactors in their “reduced,” or active, forms. These include B vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, a unique PS omega 3, and other minerals, which are critical to supporting methylation at the cellular level. By providing these important vitamins and minerals as coenzymes and cofactors, EnLyte helps normalize and balance neurotransmitter production, and critical biochemical endpoints—essential for maintaining mood and mental and physical wellness.
Clinical Proof
EnLyte has been clinically shown to work. Participant results in the very first clinical trial involving patients with MTHFR and Major Depressive Disorder presented a 75% improvement and 42% remission, as well as a reduction of homocysteine levels by 33%—a sulfur-bearing amino acid that, in high amounts, can cause cell inflammation and increase the risk of cardiac disease. EnLyte was also shown to be very safe: participants showed no side effects greater than placebo.
EnLyte was also used in a clinical study involving women who were pregnant or wanted to become pregnant with Major Depressive Disorder, underlying its safety profile. EnLyte later received a category A rating as safe to use before, during, and after pregnancy – giving pregnant women an option to safely forgo drug antidepressants in and around pregnancy.
Comprehensive Support for Methylation
Whether your body’s inability to fully metabolize vitamins is due to genetics, ethnicity, lifestyle, or other factors, EnLyte provides the premetabolized vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly. This comprehensive support helps ensure full and proper methylation, leading to mental wellness.
By addressing the root biochemical cause of depression and other psychiatric disorders, EnLyte offers a safe, effective way to manage symptoms and improve your mental health.
