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
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
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
Thanks to decades of DNA research, we know there is an intricate relationship between our genetics and our health. MTHFR is just one specific example of a gene with potential impact on numerous systems throughout the body. … Read more
When a baby is conceived, they inherit 2 copies of every gene; one from each parent. MTHFR is the name of one such gene out of a genetic code of thousands. The gene codes for an enzyme called “methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase”, which is responsible for the conversion … Read more
