Vitamin B6 plays a critical role in several biochemical processes essential for health. One of its most important functions is supporting the activation of folate and facilitating methylation pathways. These processes are vital for DNA synthesis, gene expression, and overall cellular function

Choline is often overshadowed by other nutrients, but its importance, especially for individuals with the MTHFR gene mutation, cannot be overstated. This blog post will explore the vital role of choline in managing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), its biochemical pathways, and its overall health benefits.

The connection between MTHFR gene mutations and blood clot risk often centers on homocysteine levels. The common story goes like this: if you have an MTHFR mutation, your homocysteine will be high, and that means you face a greater risk of blood clots. But this narrative oversimplifies a complex relationship.

Blood tests for folate have one big fatal flaw, making them both innaccurate and functionally useless, and the most common folate levels that we see on the blood tests of people with MTHFR might surprise you.

High homocysteine is one of the most medically recognized consequences of having an MTHFR gene mutation, and learning to lower homocysteine with MTHFR can protect your health long-term. Balancing your methylation and boosting your B vitamins, especially B2, folate or 5-LMTHF, and B12, is the usual first step with MTHFR. But for true health, there are some other things that matter as well.
