Understanding the role of zinc in supporting methylation can help those with MTHFR mutations improve their methylation balance and overall well-being.

When you receive blood test results showing high folate levels, it might seem positive at first. However, it can signal a potential issue with MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) function and highlight risks related to unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA) buildup in the bloodstream.

Brain fog makes all of life more difficult because normal tasks become an uphill battle of hazy focus, forgotten pieces, and slow or stalled thought processes. The connection between MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase), blood sugar changes, and brain fog can help you beat this symptom for good.

Methylation is a very small, foundational chemical function in your body. It involves the moving of a methyl group, which is a carbon with three hydrogens that you can picture a lot like a Mickey Mouse head with an extra ear (shudder).
