● What is MSM? MSM is an organic sulfur compound found in various foods, humans and animals. Sulfur is an essential element for all life forms and is the third most abundant mineral in the human body.

One of the key roles of MSM is to provide the necessary sulfur for the production of amino acids, enzymes, and other important compounds. Sulfur is a crucial component of various biochemical processes, including the synthesis of cartilage, keratin and collagen.

MSM, often referred to as the "beauty mineral," offers several benefits for hair, skin, and nails, primarily through its role in collagen and keratin production, as well as its impact on overall health.

Collagen Production: MSM promotes collagen synthesis, crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and preventing wrinkles. Enhanced collagen production can lead to smoother and more youthful-looking skin.*

Keratin Formation: MSM contributes to the formation of keratin, a protein vital for strong and healthy hair and nails. This helps reduce brittleness and promote hair and nail growth.*

Beauty Mineral: Its ability to improve the overall health of skin, hair, and nails has earned MSM the nickname "beauty mineral." MSM has been shown to boost hair volume, density, shine and overall hair health in 2 separate human clinical studies.*

Cartilage Support: MSM is essential for maintaining cartilage health, making it beneficial for joint health. By supporting cartilage, it may alleviate joint discomfort and enhance mobility, contributing to an active lifestyle.*

Immune System Support: MSM may boost the immune system indirectly by enhancing the body's production of glutathione, a powerful free radical scavenger that helps combat oxidative stress and bolster overall immune function.*

● Can I take MSM if I'm allergic to sulfa drugs? There have been no verifiable cases of an allergic reaction to MSM including through pathways similar to sulfa-drugs. Although both contain sulfur, that is where their similarities end. Sulfa-drugs contain a chemical group called sulfonamide, which generally are the cause of allergic reactions as they metabolize, and specific side chains are released. The allergy-causing compounds bear no resemblance structurally or functionally to MSM. However, as with any vitamin or supplement, if you have a medical condition, take medication or are under the supervision of a medical doctor, consult with a healthcare professional before using.

Methylation is one of the most important biochemical processes in the body — and yet, most people have never heard of it.
At its core, methylation is a process of adding a tiny molecule called a “methyl group” (one carbon + three hydrogen atoms, CH₃) to another molecule — like flipping a chemical switch. This happens billions of times per second in your cells, powering the systems that keep you alive, balanced, and functioning.

Think of methylation as the body's master regulator — a behind-the-scenes mechanism that keeps everything in order.

🔬 It’s how your body:
- Activates and uses nutrients from your food
- Turns genes on and off (epigenetic regulation)
- Clears toxins, hormones, and histamine from your system
- Produces and balances neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA
- Repairs damaged DNA and supports cell regeneration

Without proper methylation, your body may absorb vitamins — but it can’t activate or utilize them effectively. That means even a perfect diet can leave you depleted, foggy, inflamed, or anxious if this process is impaired.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐘𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔
This process depends on a finely tuned cycle involving nutrients like B12, folate, B6, choline, betaine, magnesium, and zinc.
These methyl donors and essential cofactors are the fuel that keep the cycle spinning.
When methylation is impaired — whether from genetic variations like MTHFR, poor diet, toxic exposures (pesticides, heavy metals, mold), chronic stress, gut issues, or inflammation — the entire body can begin to misfire.
Even children and teens can show signs of poor methylation today due to the growing environmental burden, nutrient-depleted food, and synthetic vitamins (folic acid) in processed products.

⚠️ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐄 𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐘𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍?
• Antacids & PPIs (e.g. omeprazole) can reduce B12 absorption
• Hormonal birth control can deplete B6 and folate
• Glyphosate (Roundup) blocks the shikimate pathway — needed to produce folate in gut microbes
• Alcohol, smoking, and even overtraining can increase methylation demand
• Copper–zinc imbalance and low lithium orotate can affect enzyme function
• EMFs and circadian disruption impair methylation-dependent repair cycles
• Gut dysbiosis, SIBO, or leaky gut interfere with B vitamin absorption
• Excess iron or ferritin can oxidize methylation enzymes and stress the liver

🔎 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐘𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐄:
• Fatigue, burnout, or sleep issues
• Anxiety, depression, OCD, or panic attacks
• Hormone imbalances (especially low progesterone or estrogen dominance)
• Infertility, PCOS, irregular cycles, or miscarriage
• Poor detox tolerance (reacting to perfumes, supplements, or meds)
• Histamine overload (itchy skin, rashes, food reactions)
• Brain fog, memory loss, or slow processing
• Autoimmunity or chronic inflammatory disease (MS, lupus, etc.)
• Sensitivity to folic acid or worsening with certain B complex products
• TMJ, high pain sensitivity, or overstimulation
• High homocysteine or low glutathione on labs

• COMT – Affects estrogen, dopamine, and stress tolerance — slow variants may have trouble clearing adrenaline or toxins
• MAO-A – Mood, serotonin, and behavioral regulation — variants can impact aggression, focus, or depression
• CBS – Sulfur and ammonia detox — overstimulated in some mutations; may need molybdenum, B6, and taurine
• MTR/MTRR – B12 recycling — mutations can block methylation even with B12 intake
• DAO – Histamine breakdown — linked with MCAS and food intolerance

Understanding your unique methylation picture (via genetic testing or symptom patterns) can help you personalize your healing path.

Before I put these beautiful light fixtures on FB Marketplace I wanted to let clients have 1st option to buy them. We have had several people want them in the past but I just never planned to sell them.
With our consolidation, we do not have tall enough ceilings so I have to let them go.🥹
I am asking $300 for the set of 2.

Please PM me if you are interested.

I will put them on Marketplace next week if they haven’t sold.

Taken from Dr. Ben Lynch @ Seeking Health:

“When methylation is imbalanced — either too slow (undermethylation) or too fast (overmethylation) — it disrupts critical systems.

Ironically…
😅 Both conditions can trigger similar symptoms

Like fatigue, mood swings, or histamine issues, making it hard to tell which imbalance you're experiencing without deeper testing or observation.

Let’s break them down.

🪫Undermethylation😞

This occurs when there's not enough methyl groups available to perform necessary tasks.

Common Symptoms:👇
-Chronic Low mood
-Constant fatigue/low energy despite good sleep
-Responds well to methyl donors but not folate.
-High whole body Histamine
-Obsessive thoughts or perfectionism
-Appetite for achievement is high, but joy or satisfaction is often lacking
-PMS, especially with irritability or depressive symptoms
-Feels foggy after eating foods high in natural folate (dark leafy greens)

‼️Overmethylation🫨

This occurs when there is too much methyl group activity — often due to supplement overload (e.g., methylfolate, methylB12), or certain COMT genetic variants.

Common Symptoms:👇
-High irritability or restlessness
-Trouble sleeping or wired-tired state
-Slow COMT activity (can’t clear dopamine/epinephrine efficiently)
-Poor Phase 2 liver detox
-Sensitivity to methylated B vitamins
-Histamine may be low
-High dopamine and serotonin (excessive stimulation)

📌 Your takeaway:

Overmethylation is characterized mainly by excitatory, high-energy symptoms, while undermethylation produces more low-mood, low-energy symptoms.”

This is a great MTHFR / methylation video. It explaines some of the connections to glutathione, homocysteine and a few others.
Not only that, he explaines what nutrients are needed to fix the SNP.
