MAO-A is an enzyme that has the power to determine a lot of who you are, and the gene SNPs that change its activity have additive effects, just like the COMT gene SNP that we spoke about previously, The various…

MAO-A is an enzyme of singular importance, and the gene SNPs that alter its activity have additive effects, just like the COMT gene SNP that we spoke about some months ago, to produce either fast or slow action. MAO-A stands…

Like everything else we talk about, MTHFR and vitamin D have a curious relationship. Vitamin D doesn’t link into the folate cycle, the methylation cycle, or the BH4 pathway so it isn’t an obvious connection, but it’s thought to be…

We haven’t discussed glutathione in a while, but MTHFR’s effects on glutathione production are of major consequence in the health of all of us MTHFR folks. While a sluggish methylation typically leads to a sluggish glutathione production, there are some…

The COMT fast picture, as you can imagine, is the flip-side of COMT slow. This enzyme works too well, eliminating crucial substances before they have the chance to act. The most well researched polymorphism that contributes to this picture is…
