MichaelTampa Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 I find the whole topic a bit confusing. FWIW, I did get the MTHFR test from LabCorp (my doc just filled it out, I didn't ask for it or know about it at the time), and did have one mutation on each of the two genes they test for. I believe the test report says there are many gene mutations that can affect this, but there are just two for which testing is as easy/practical as this. As a result of the test, I am supplementing with methyltetrahydrofolate by Thorne. There are other products out there as well, most add other vitamins/minerals to the mix, I selected this one because I prefer the no extras approach.

So, can you tell what the methyltetrahydrofolate has added to your situation? Has it helped, and if so, has it helped in a particular way?
