Question about MTHFR mutation?

[beeskneesmommy]

Hi - I have read that taking extra folic acid in the form of supplements (maternity vies) can be harmful to the fetus that has a MTHFR mutation...and of course kicked myself because i was so "good" a bout following this directive during pregnancy. However, i just looked at Dr. Jone's site that seemed to recommend takin g extra folic acid during pregnancy...thought? DS7 tested + for hetero mutation, which apparently is not uncommon. Thx!

it depends what kind of mutation we are talking about. there are people who don't tolerate methylation agents well. my entire family is in that group.
