MTHFR Test
Understand How Your Body Processes Folate
$99
The MTHFR Genetic Test helps you understand how your genetic makeup may influence your body's ability to convert folate (vitamin B9) and folic acid into methylfolate—the biologically active form your body needs for optimal health.
The MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) enzyme plays a critical role in converting folate from food and folic acid from supplements into methylfolate, which is essential for:
- DNA synthesis and repair
- Healthy cell growth and function
- Methylation processes throughout the body
- Regulation of homocysteine levels
- Normal neurological function
Some individuals inherit genetic variants that reduce the activity of the MTHFR enzyme, making this conversion less efficient. Reduced methylfolate production may contribute to elevated homocysteine levels and may influence nutritional needs and overall health.
This test analyzes the MTHFR gene and reports on the two most extensively researched genetic variants known to affect enzyme activity.
