claimWhen methylation capacity is constrained, through low folate/B12 status, reduced enzyme function (e.g., MTHFR variants), inflammation, oxidative stress, alcohol use, or high metabolic demand, homocysteine can rise, and SAMe availability can fall, creating a low methylation status that plausibly amplifies emotional volatility via neurotransmitter and epigenetic pathways [].
