What is a methylation panel?

The Methylation Panel is an innovative test designed to offer insight into the critical biochemical methylation pathway. Methylation metabolites are measured in plasma, and genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are analyzed via buccal swab.

Is there a test for methylation?

The Methylation Panel can uncover needs for nutritional support such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Note: This is a pre-paid shipping test kit that will be mailed and it requires a blood draw. Please Click Here to locate a lab for specimen collection.

How much does a methylation test cost?

Using Push Health, you can easily request a MTHFR test from a licensed medical provider, get tested at a lab near you, and get results electronically. The total fees are $143.29 and include the lab order, lab fees and an electronic copy of the results.

What is a methylation profile?

The Methylation Profile provides a functional assessment of the phenotypic expression of common SNPs (MTHFR, MS, CBS) by evaluating the plasma levels of methionine, cysteine, SAM, SAH, homocysteine, adenose and cystathionine. It also provides the important “methylation index”, a ratio of SAM to SAH.

What diseases cause high homocysteine?

Some common conditions associated with high homocysteine are:

• osteoporosis, or bone thinning.
• atherosclerosis, or a buildup of fats and other substances in the arterial walls.
• thrombosis, a blood vessel blood clot.
• venous thrombosis, a blood clot in the veins.
• heart attack.
• coronary artery disease.
• stroke.
• dementia.

What is my epigenetic age?

What is Your Epigenetic Age? The epigenetic age reflects the biological events that lead to aging. It is similar but not identical to the chronological age. When it moves faster it is an indication of faster aging and when it moves slower aging is slowed down.

What does poor methylation cause?

Poor methylation also leads to higher levels of homocysteine and resultant increases in arthritis, heart disease, cancer, etc. In addition to impaired methylation leading to imbalanced TH1/TH2 ratio, it can also lead to high histamine levels.

How serious is high homocysteine?

High homocysteine levels in the blood can damage the lining of the arteries. High levels may also make the blood clot more easily than it should. This can increase the risk of blood vessel blockages. A clot inside your blood vessel is called a thrombus.

How do I turn the clock back on aging?

LeBrasseur says the guidelines recommended to maintain overall good health also apply to aging: 30-minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise most days of the week could benefit the body’s ability to maintain its regenerative potential, and therefore could be like turning the clock back on aging.

How do you reset your biological age?

3 ways to reverse your biological age

1. Upgrade your mitochondria. Your mitochondria are the power plants of your cells — they crank out the energy that runs everything your body does, from breathing to moving to thinking.
2. Trigger autophagy. Autophagy is like spring cleaning for your cells.
3. Control stress.

Does B12 lower homocysteine levels?

The most important nutrients that help lower homocysteine levels are folate, the vitamins B12, B6 and B2, zinc and trimethylglycine (TMG).

What are the symptoms of high homocysteine?

Elevated homocysteine symptoms

• pale skin.
• weakness.
• fatigue.
• tingling sensations (like pins and needles) in the hands, arms, legs, or feet.
• dizziness.
• mouth sores.
• mood changes.

Can aging be reversed or delayed?

Whilst aging is still likely inevitable for all living things, it is possible to delay it in cells and animals experimentally. For us humans, the best way to delay aging is to eat a balanced diet and do regular exercise.
