For decades, folic acid has been praised as a crucial nutrient for everything from prenatal health to cardiovascular support. It’s found in fortified foods, standard multivitamins, and most over-the-counter B-complex supplements.
But here’s the truth: if you carry the C677T variant of the MTHFR gene… Read more
If you’ve been diagnosed with an MTHFR gene mutation, you’re probably already familiar with how this tiny variation can have a big impact on your health. The MTHFR gene plays a critical role in the body’s methylation cycle. When this … Read more
In recent years, the terms “methylation” and “methylated vitamins” have gained attention among health-conscious individuals, especially those seeking support for mood and mental wellness.
But what exactly are methylated vitamins, and why are they essential for optimal brain function? Let’s explore the … Read more
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
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
We talk about L-methylfolate in the context of “methylation” all the time in our MethylPro® messaging, but what does methylation really mean? Understanding this fundamental process can help you better appreciate how it affects everything from your mental clarity to your heart health—and why proper … Read more
If you’ve recently learned that you have the MTHFR gene mutation C677T, you might feel confused or unsure about what this means for your health. This article will break it down in simple terms, explaining why … Read more
The MTHFR mutation is a genetic variation that can significantly influence how the body processes folate and homocysteine, both critical for reproductive health. While this mutation is highly common, its implications during fertility, conception… Read more
