Supplement Series: Methylated B Vitamins
Pros and cons of methylated B vitamins. A short class with Camille Freeman (1 NPCE)
Feb 24 from 12-1 pm ET
About this class:
This is a new class type at Bloom & Grow. In Supplement Series classes, we'll discuss a single, focused question relating to a commonly-used supplement. These classes are not intended to be comprehensive. You will not learn everything you need to know to use or recommend the supplement under discussion. Rather, we'll discuss one question, aspect or angle related to the supplement that often comes up for clinicians.
In this class, we'll be covering methylated B vitamins. Some common questions about these products include the differences between methylated and non-methylated B vitamins, when and under what circumstances it makes sense to recommend or use these products, how MTHFR variants come into play, and what side effects or other concerns to be aware of when using methylated B vitamins.
I am not affiliated with any B vitamin products. My intention with this class is not to encourage you to use or not to use methylated B vitamins. Rather, I hope to provide food for thought and information to help inform your clinical choices.
A recording will be available to everyone who registers, so please sign up even if you can't attend live.
During this class, we'll:
Differentiate between methylated and non-methylated B vitamin products
Review the evidence relating to supplemental methylated B vitamins in human populations
Discuss safety and quality concerns to be aware of when recommending methylated B vitamins

You'll receive access to the live session, a recording of the session, slides, a list of references/resources, and a quiz/certificate option for those who need continuing education hours. I offer a sliding scale to make these classes accessible. Feel free to choose the price that best reflects your financial situation, even if the experience level does not align perfectly. Please note that these class take many (MANY!) hours to prepare, especially since we are also providing an (optional) quiz and CEU certificate đź’š
