Up to 40% of people carry this gene mutation — and most have absolutely no idea. 🧬
MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) is a gene that controls one of the most important processes in your body: methylation — happening over a billion times per second in every cell, affecting DNA repair, detoxification, mood and hormones.
When this gene is mutated, everything downstream is affected. Depression and anxiety that don’t respond to medication. Chronic fatigue. Brain fog. Elevated homocysteine. Recurrent miscarriages. Poor detoxification. And often — years of symptoms with no clear answer.
One of the most critical things to know: if you have MTHFR, synthetic folic acid found in most supplements and fortified foods may actually be making things worse. Your body can’t convert it — and it can accumulate and block the folate your cells actually need.
The solution? Methylfolate — the active, pre-converted form that bypasses the mutation entirely.
Swipe through to learn what MTHFR is, how it affects your mood, hormones and detox — and what functional medicine actually does about it. 👆
