Everyone Needs to Know: MTHFR

Do you have the MTHFR gene mutation? 40% of us do!

Get tested for MTHFR!
This is an important enzyme in the body, and if you have low levels of MTHFR activity – wow, so much goes wonky! 

This is very important for everyone, 
as 40%+ may have the genetic variant.

Good news, there are many things you can do to address this with lifestyle, food, supplements.

Thanks to the Human Genome Project, we now have access to health information that can be life-changing and life-saving.

Do you know if you have MTHFR genetic variant?

YOU need to know! 

It means you do not convert certain B vitamins into the active form so you may end up with low folate and low B12 etc. 

Taking high quality B vitamins won’t help if they aren’t the right form for you, methylated B vitamins.
……………
40%+ people have this genetic situation going on and it may be why there are higher risk/incidence of:
