Methylation helps convert the problematic amino acid metabolite homocysteine into the amino acids methionine and cysteine. Consistent recycling of homocysteine is vital for supporting cardiovascular health. Proper methylation can be inhibited by nutrient deficiencies, especially of folic acid, B\u003csub\u003e6\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand B\u003csub\u003e12\u003c\/sub\u003e.
