Methylation Myths
Erika discusses the complexities of methylation and the common misconceptions surrounding MTHFR. She questions the widespread recommendation of methylated folate, suggesting that riboflavin deficiency might be a more significant factor. Interestingly, her findings indicate that traditional folic acid may yield better results for some individuals, challenging the prevailing narrative in the field.In this clip

If supplementation is still advised, what are the most evidence-based supplements to support methylation for someone with this mutation?
Given that all my levels are within the green range—even homocysteine—does my MTHFR mutation still warrant supplementation with L-5-MTHF, methylcobalamin, or other methylation-support nutrients?
How is it physiologically possible that I have a TT mutation (which only allows \~30% methylation efficiency) yet my homocysteine and folate are both normal? Could I still be deficient at the cellular level or in cerebrospinal fluid?
