What is MTHFR ?
MTHFR is a gene responsible for producing an enzyme that converts folic acid (the inactive form of vitamin B9 ) into its active form , methylfolate . If this gene is defective, the conversion efficiency can decrease by 40% to 70% , preventing the body from fully utilizing folic acid and leading to a series of physiological problems.

Common symptoms and effects
- Cardiovascular problems : coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, dementia
- Chronic inflammation : fibromyalgia, joint pain
- Decreased liver detoxification ability : especially ineffective elimination of heavy metals such as iron
- Insufficient neurotransmitters : Decreased levels of serotonin, dopamine, and melatonin may lead to anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors (alcohol, drugs, cigarettes).
- Sleep disorders are associated with an increased risk of cancer.
How to improve MTHFR defects?
Dietary adjustment
- Avoid taking folic acid supplements and fortified cereals : because folic acid cannot be effectively converted and is easily accumulated.
- Ingesting active vitamin B9 (methylfolate) : can be directly utilized by the body.
- Supplementing with active vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) : supports related metabolic responses.
- Avoid gluten, wheat, and sugar : reduce the burden on your body
- Eating more dark leafy green vegetables , such as Swiss chard, spinach, and kale, can help with detoxification.
Supplementing nutrients
- NAC (acetylcysteine) : Helps the liver detoxify.
- Reduced glutathione : Enhances detoxification ability
Food choices
- Choose organic, grass-fed foods : reduce the intake of environmental toxins and lower the burden on the liver.
