[QUOTE="davidrn, post: 168495, member: 13164"] For those who don't know about MTHFR genetic defects, by coincidence, got this in an email today: [B]Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase[/B] (MTHFR) is an important enzyme in the methylation cycle, which limits how quickly and efficiently methylation can happen in the body. [B]Methylation[/B] is a critical process in the body that involves transferring a methyl group to a molecule in our bodies, like our DNA, to turn our genes on or off. Those with MTHFR may show normal levels of folate on their lab tests, but these labs are actually looking at [I]folic acid[/I] levels, NOT folate. Folic acid is not the usable form of folate preferred by our bodies. Whether or not you have MTHFR, it is [I]so[/I] important that you are getting the right form of folate in your diet and supplements (i.e. [URL='https://resources.seekinghealth.com/e2t/c/*W3jqp0R7p5CFhW1sQtVv6YWc7c0/*W2VbLHy1B0f7NW4D5B_D3JqQNB0/5/f18dQhb0SbTS8XJ9TCN89TFRxGZ5t0W1yM6wz5G1ZVxN3fPPlyWMxkBW5r8vwP3mm44rW5y5Lkw66PvSXW8r4wbR1qMLklW8v2xKG8z0sHhW8m6W0r3J4LPSW8DsXp464JhzRW8r4hQN1lbmPFW5y5jh-1rfXlzW1kRpb77ZCgWxN6cDM6s9Rdk4N6fNYXnNfj-qN1nj43nN01f-W1pNBPM1QMkzxW64QZb68rvwMTW7nSL7t5tg24_W7X3BP81PlpFYW1GgGq81YYV5xW72nt_y6sxx-hW7TxWg76tx2S1W234_F76yxpf0W1XXFV17573rQW29QVGz1hlQRzW1RbSSr7n6YsvW6j-CY31P97Y0W65SXCB6PgBtmW7j-jY76KL-n8W7P062K86jln7W6yt65g7Vy6sQW1nKKBS7bhH4ZW2fR3hr3G_1lTN1HmWWgrPpMvVrJh2D904ZM9W69NPNh7nwwF5VwRsPt19zs1xW1FXRbR5mRgWyW3f1gXp7QX1hNW4l8Fn-3d4wDVW9k1x3_18QK4HW9j4_zX66SGVpMdSQk91_PYvf1bBJK111'][B]L-methylfolate[/B][/URL]).
