Default Re: MTHFR questions

I'm homozygous C677T for MTHFR, too. It scared me to death when I first found out about it, but now it's not so scary. My functional medicine PA reassures me that humans have had this mutation for thousands of years and that it's only the toxic things in our environment that need culling. She always makes me feel better when I just feel like I'm a train wreck. Also, there's research to suggest that those with MTHFR are actually somewhat cancer-immune, so there's that.

Okay, for supplements, you want a really good multivitamin with methylfolate --- absolutely NO folic acid, in anything (check your cereal box, if your dh eats it). Here's the one I'm using right now: https://www.amazon.com/Pure-Encapsul...61GKG6B1AFFDMG My PA was very impressed with it.

Here's the b12 the PA recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Perque-Activa...1THH12HSARG6GQ

I also take this B: https://www.amazon.com/Biotics-Resea...8MC371JQN82G42

A good magnesium wouldn't hurt: https://www.amazon.com/Metabolic-Mai...ZGXCPVNEXMHH5J

Vit D: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Last, but not least, he needs either TMG or DMG. This is my preferred brand, but I went with Swanson TMG to save some money (I'm not convinced Swanson's is that good though). http://store.centerforholisticmedici...ct-p/00629.htm

I'm also taking zinc and choline, but those are more specific to me rather than homozygous MTHFR I think.

Oh, also, gluten-free is pretty important from what I've read.
