The Doctor’s Data Methylation Profile Index (SAMe/SAH) test provides a functional assessment by evaluating the plasma levels of methionine, cysteine, SAM, SAH, homocysteine, and cystathionine. In addition, this test provides the important “methylation index,” a ratio of SAM to SAH.
The stable metabolism of methionine is very important for the cellular methylation of DNA, proteins, and neurotransmitters. Abnormal methionine metabolism may appear in anyone at any age. Usually associated with genetic/nutritional deficiencies, exposure to environmental toxins, and aging. Furthermore, it is linked with a variety of symptoms such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
