Decode Your Genetic Blueprint with the
Power of MTHFR Genotyping

Understanding how well your body converts Folic Acid into its useable form, which is crucial for DNA synthesis and repair, as well as overall cellular function.

Identifying how MTHFR mutations affect Homocysteine (toxic) breakdown to Methionine (benign) is impaired leading to high Homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is abrasive to blood vessels, essentially scratching them, leaving damage that causes heart attacks, stroke, dementia and a host of other health issues.

Learning about your body's ability to detoxify harmful substances, as MTHFR mutations can impact the methylation process crucial for detoxification. If you body cannot methylate properly, toxins build up in your bloodstream and will eventually cause disease.

Discovering the connection between MTHFR mutations and neurotransmitter production, which can influence mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.

Determining personalized nutritional needs, especially the intake of B vitamins, to support optimal methylation and overall metabolic health.

Methylation is the process of adding or removing a methyl group (a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms) to a molecule. This simple chemical reaction can significantly alter the function of proteins, DNA, enzymes, hormones, and genes. Methylation is crucial for health because it enables cellular adaptability, allowing cells to respond to changing environments. It is fundamental to human metabolism, playing vital roles in detoxification, neurotransmitter synthesis, cell growth, tissue repair, and gene expression. Proper methylation ensures these processes work optimally, supporting overall health and wellness.

Methylation is neither good nor bad; it is a crucial biochemical process. It helps regulate enzyme function and convert harmful substances, like homocysteine, into beneficial ones, reducing heart disease risk.However, over-methylation can increase cancer risk and affect genetic expression. Depending on the genes involved, this can have positive or negative health effects. Proper methylation balance is essential for overall health.

No fasting is needed, just follow the simple sample collection instructions.

One should achieve ideal body weight and body composition with low body fat (less than 22% for women and less than 16% for men). Decreasing visceral fat is very important. Regular aerobic and resistance exercise for at least one hour per day, sleeping for at least 8 hours per night, stress reduction, discontinuation of all tobacco products and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may decrease the rate of telomere loss.
