MTHFR, Why It Is Important To Know

Something that I have been asked a lot about lately that people are asking is how do I boost my immunity??

A question I have asked myself several times over the past year!! Especially after having the “Covid”, that I know for sure hurt my immune system! 

Do you know what methylated vitamins are?

I didn’t either , so don’t fret! Seriously this is not something you talk about around the dinner table, but it is important to know!!

Vitamins and nutrients as well as your gut health are critical, but not all vitamins are created equal?

MTHFR is a gene mutation AND it affects up to HALF of the population!! That means there’s a good chance someone or multiple people in your house have this mutation.

If you or someone in your family, maybe your kiddos have the MTHFR gene mutation, they can’t absorb folic acid properly. Folic acid helps growth and repair of every cell.

Here’s a short list of a few known ways that MTHFR can present in health issues:

Vascular disease

Blood clots

Respiratory issues

Pregnancy complications

Neural Tube Defects

Anxiety

Depression

Fatigue

MTHFR study can get very in-depth.

In short:

People with the MTHFR mutation are unable to “methylate” ingredients like Folic Acid, as well as certain B vitamins. Instead, these ingredients turn TOXIC in their body.

Methylation, simply put, is the ability to process toxins and hormones. When the methylation process is inhibited the body becomes more susceptible to oxidative stress, and far less tolerant to toxins. This lack of detoxification can lead to all kinds of behavioral, mental, and even physical illnesses or disabilities such as the few that were mentioned above.

Since nearly half the population has this condition, wouldn’t it be great for all of us to be consuming nutrition that is ALREADY Methylated and can be readily and quickly absorbed!!

Methylated vitamins and nutrients are beneficial for EVERYONE, no one is excluded, yet everyone is covered!!

While MANY aren’t, our Peak Performance is Fully Methylated!!  

This is why bio-available vitamins and supplements are SO important to your immunity!!!

Question: Is this your first time learning about this common gene mutation?
