In this report, we cover the MTHFR gene, analyze your genotypes for the rs1801133 and rs1801131 SNPs, and assess your general risk due to these MTHFR variants. We also use this analysis to make personalized, actionable health recommendations based on your unique genetic data.
MTHFR is the most talked-about gene among health enthusiasts and functional medicine practitioners. It’s also the best-studied gene in nutrigenetics, the science of how genes affect nutritional status. Short for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, MTHFR influences folate levels and methylation in your body. MTHFR became such a popular topic after large-scale studies linked poor methylation with chronic health problems. However, many claims about the impact of MTHFR are inflated. People have pinned virtually every problem on MTHFR, leading to a widespread misunderstanding of this gene.
In this report, we cover the main SNPs in the MTHFR gene: rs1801133 and rs1801131.You will get to understand how your MTHFR genotype can affect your health, and what you can do to lower your risk of chronic diseases and nutrient deficiencies. You may be surprised to hear that you might be better off avoiding methylation supplements even if you have the “bad” MTHFR variants.
