Mthfr?

Question

What do you know? Not looking to have kids. Just want general information.

Answer

I'm compound heterozygous and I went to see a few specialist. All of them told me to take it out of my mind. The large majority of the population has some form of this gene mutation. You may encounter minor issues with clotting or your body may not process folic acid very well which causes it to build up. All the specialist told me to take folate (L-5 MTHF) instead of folic acid - but they recommend this to everyone, even if they haven't been tested for MTHFR.  I guess testing for MTHFR is old practice and there is no real nor solid scientific evidence that the gene mutation causes any issues. The most common issue I've encountered is that women with MTHFR need to take baby aspirin when pregnant.
