The MTHFR gene provides the body with instructions for making methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase - otherwise known as the MTHFR enzyme. This enzyme is important because it helps your body break down foods that contain folic acid and then convert that folic acid into methylfolate. Methylfolate is the active form of folate - the form that your body needs to carry out proper methylation. Methylation is responsible for an enormous range of biochemical reactions necessary for your mind and...
