How strong the research is
Mostly expert experience so far, with published research still catching up.
In their words
“some people take methylated B vitamins to prevent a hangover ... something else which is very gentle and not going to cause any problems will be try methyl glycine or it's called TMG”

Slow equilibration to low doses may help stabilize methylation system and reduce adverse reactions
Methylated B vitamins help normalize homocysteine, reducing blood stickiness and coronary calcification risk.
Methyl donors help neutralize homocysteine produced by mitochondrial stimulation, maximizing benefits.
Elevated homocysteine above 7 suggests poor absorption of B12 or folate due to methylation issues, which methylated B complex can support.
Active forms of B vitamins are better recognized and utilized by the body.
Methylfolate accumulation occurs due to low B2/B3/B12 or regulatory issues, so restoring these nutrients is essential to maintain methylation flow.
