When it comes to supporting vital bodily functions—from DNA synthesis to mood regulation—the form of folate you choose matters. In this post, we’ll dive into the structural and functional difference between “folic” and “folate”, or more specifically, naturally occurring folate and … Read more
The MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene plays a crucial role in processing folate, a vital nutrient necessary for DNA synthesis, methylation, and neurotransmitter production. A mutation in this gene can impact how the body metabolizes … Read more
Spring is a time of renewal, reflection, and reconnection. This can happen within ourselves, but also between us and the world around us. As we approach Earth Day on April 22, it’s a … Read more
Genetics plays a crucial role in how our bodies process essential nutrients, including folate. The MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that converts folate into its active form, L-methylfolate. However, mutations in the MTHFR gene can … Read more
“Homocysteine balance” is not a widespread topic of conversation in the wellness world, but it is an important one, as homocysteine and MTHFR can be tightly linked. If you have an MTHFR gene mutation, you may have heard about homocysteine and its potential impact on your … Read more
