Gene Mutation Insights
Gary highlights the significant impact of the MTHFR gene mutation on folic acid supplementation. While individuals without the mutation experience a substantial increase in active metabolites, those with the mutation see no increase at all. This stark contrast underscores the importance of understanding genetic factors in nutritional supplementation, especially for vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children with developmental disorders.In this clip
