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
Many people think they’re covering all their folate needs when taking an L-methylfolate supplement. However, the reality is a bit more complex. L-methylfolate is an important form of folate in the body, especially for mental health, cellular … Read more
Is it just us, or does life feel like a treadmill of stress sometimes? Stress affects individuals differently. If you are someone living with a methylation-associated genetic difference, like mthfr, stress may have a more noticeable effect, due to methylation differences.
