Making sense of MTHFR

MTHFR is one of the most common gene variations there is, and seeing it on a report feels far scarier than it actually is. It affects methylation — how your body handles folate, supports detox, and makes the building blocks for mood and energy. A variant isn’t a diagnosis; it just means your body may benefit from a little targeted support.

• Having a variant is common — it’s not a disease or a diagnosis.
• The active, methylated form of folate is the one your body can actually use.
• Most online panic sells supplements, not science — a few basics do the work.
