Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Mutation (MTHFR) – Say that three times fast! It may be hard to say, but it’s actually a common gene mutation in humans. An estimated 50 percent of the population has one of the 40 variants of MTHFR mutation. And, some MTHFR mutations are more serious than others. So, are you among …
MTHFR: The Impacts of Genetic Mutation on Your Health Read More »
Managing MTHFR is complex as every individual is unique. The type and number of MTHFR mutations greatly affects the approach to care and the outcome of care. Treatment should optimize the production of methyl groups while decreasing the overall depletion. Genetics cannot be changed, but how genes behave can be altered with a comprehensive diet and …
