Methyl donors play a fundamental role in numerous biochemical processes within the body. These compounds donate a methyl group (a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, -CH₃) during essential reactions, influencing a variety of physiological processes from gene expression to neurotransmitter synthesis. With the growing interest in understanding the intricate mechanisms behind aging and healthspan, the role of methyl donors has been thrust into the spotlight.
