Thank you featuring information on the MTHFR mutation. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and was told to take folic acid. I researche’d further about the mutation and began taking folate instead. I look forward to further discussions about this!

Thank you for bringing more attention to MTHFR. I definitely feel like we need more research and awareness about this. I am recently diagnosed with one copy of C677T, and haven’t been able to run my other SNPs yet. I also tested my neurotransmitters and found that my GABA and glutamate are high. I am deficient in most vitamins. My integrative medicine specialist has recommended multiple things to address different areas of my health and MTHFR and unfortunately we must be missing something because I cannot tolerate anything. Not even supplements or Juice Plus vitamins. I have Interstitial Cystsitis, multiple sensitivities and allergies and MTHFR all limiting my diet. I’ve been on a modified paleo diet on and off (more on than off) for about 3 years and my health is still tanking. I lost my job and have drained my financial resources so I can’t keeping testing and trying supplements anymore. Wish conventional drs knew anything so it would be covered by insurance.
