Hi @contilucy1960

Glad you are trying to stay on top of your MTHFR with added supplements. I am not entirely sure of all the supplements that you need to be taking, but here are some sites that may give some insight.

MTHFR Gene, Folic Acid, and Preventing Neural Tube Defects: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/folicacid/mthfr-gene-and-folic-acid.html

Are you also trying to avoid harmful foods with this mutation such as enriched grains, like pasta, cereals, breads, and commercially produced flours?

Thank you so much for your response! I do eat pasta, but it is usually brown rice pasta and I try to eat only organic whole grains (like WASA rye crackers). I do not usually eat refined foods and I try to avoid sugar. What I don’t know is whether I need to stay on ALL those supplements.

I have tested positive for being double heterozygous for the MTHFR gene mutation. I can't find much info on this particular mutation combination, but I have been taking 3,000mcg of l-methylfolate and wonder if I should be taking more. I suffer from depression and anxiety, fibromyalgia and various muscle aches and pains.

Hello,

I was told by a pharmacist that the Orthomolecular supplements for the MTHFR are the best. Unfortunately, this pharmacy closed and now I have to find the medications elsewhere. I was taking 3 supplements: 1) Methyl CpG; 2) N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) but I cannot remember the other one. Would it be Methyl B Complex? Or is it Methyl B12? I would appreciate an answer. Thank you.

I have MTHFR from mom and dad. Does it have to be from both or can one parent have te gene?
