MTHFR Genetic Testing - (Bloodwork)

Targeted Methylation & Folate Pathway Genetic Analysis

MTHFR testing identifies critical genetic polymorphisms (mutations) in the MTHFR gene (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase) that directly impair your body's ability to convert synthetic dietary folic acid into bioactive, usable folate (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate or L-5-MTHF). Folate is essential for DNA repair, neurotransmitter synthesis, homocysteine regulation, and cellular detoxification.

Why Test for MTHFR Gene Mutations?

Individuals with C677T or A1298C MTHFR mutations experience reduced methylation efficiency (from 30% to 70% decrease), which can silently elevate risk for:

• Cardiovascular Health: Elevated homocysteine levels leading to endothelial inflammation and cardiovascular risks.
• Mood & Cognitive Function: Impaired synthesis of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, contributing to brain fog, fatigue, and mood imbalances.
• Reproductive Health: Fertility challenges and recurrent pregnancy complications.
• Detoxification: Impaired Phase II hepatic methylation and reduced glutathione production.

What You Receive:

• Comprehensive analysis of both key MTHFR alleles (C677T and A1298C).
• Clear homozygous vs. heterozygous status interpretation.
• Personalized clinical guidance on methylated supplementation (such as Metafolin® and Methylcobalamin) and dietary adjustments to bypass genetic blockages.
