Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR), DNA Mutation Analysis

Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) is a vital enzyme in the process of methylation. Methylation is essential for synthesizing DNA, expressing genes, detoxification, regulating neurotransmitters, preventing inflammation and oxidative stress. The MTHFR gene has some variants that can impair its function and result in improper methylation patterns, which are present in up to half of people. Due to this, the presence of mutations in this gene can drive symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. This mutation analysis tests for that variant, so you can know how to optimize your nutrition around it.
