If my son with the MTHFR gene mutation supplements with methylated B vitamins, does it minimize the bad effects of the "toxic" version of folic acid present in enriched bread or cereal as discussed in the episode Getting To The Root Causes Of Why We Are All Tired and the clip Methylation Matters?
What research supports the use of supplements like 5-methylfolate, B vitamins, and methylated multivitamins for supporting methylation pathways involving MTHFR, COMT, AHCY, MTR, and MTRR genes?
I have a question about the episode Depression | Ultimate Human Short and the clip Methylation and Mood. According to Gary Brecka, about 44% of the population has a gene mutation, MTHFR, which impairs their ability to convert folic acid into its active form, methylfolate. This conversion is crucial because folic acid, a common nutrient added to many processed foods, cannot be utilized by the body directly. Therefore, individuals with this mutation often struggle with neurotransmitter imbalances, which can affect mood and cognitive function. Brecka suggests that for these individuals, taking methylated forms of vitamins, such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin, can significantly improve their health and reduce symptoms associated with deficiencies. He also emphasizes the importance of avoiding foods fortified with folic acid and instead opting for non-enriched organic options, especially for children affected by attention disorders like ADD or ADHD. Can you explain more about the implications of this information?
