MTHFR and Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome
In recent years, adrenal fatigue syndrome has been a popular topic despite not being accepted as a medical diagnosis.
However, many health practitioners still use the term to describe a set of symptoms relating to constant exhaustion, particularly neurological conditions. Fatigue is often linked to poor sleeping patterns, immune dysfunction, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and/or food sensitivities and allergies. These symptoms are often similar to those associated with MTHFR genetic mutations and may come from nutritional deficiencies affecting methylation.
This article will explain adrenal fatigue syndrome, how it differs from ‘regular’ fatigue, and the available tests. We will also discuss how adrenal exhaustion may be linked to methylation dysfunction associated with MTHFR polymorphisms and how these can be treated through supplementation.
