The one-carbon cycle & how it is underpinned by Progenyx

Substrates:

betaine (Bet), choline (Chol), cystathione (Cth), dihydrofolate (DHL), homocysteine (Hcy), 5,10-methenyl-tetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-THF), 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-m-THF), methionine (Met), tetrahydrofolate (THF), S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH).

Cofactors:

vitamins B2, B6 and B12

Outputs:

substrate methylation, redox balance, purine synthesis & DNA repair

Above is a schematic of the one-carbon cycle, reproduced here for educational purposes. The role played by Progenyx ingredients is also shown. A lack of critical metabolites may compromise it, rendering cellular structures susceptible to oxidative attack. As discussed on other pages, the one-carbon cycle helps prevent or repair DNA or chromosome damage and is of particular importance in the development of eggs, sperm and the foetus.
