Genetic Methylation Test
The MTHFR gene is responsible for the production of a critical enzyme that converts folic acid to its active form called methylfolate. This is the genetic methylation pathway for folate or vitamin B9. Connections between brain cells rely on neurotransmitters to get information from one brain cell to another. Neurotransmitters, like serotonin, require methylfolate for production. Depressed mood and other mental health conditions are often associated with specific genetic variants. After receiving your lab report, you can ask your doctor if you would benefit from taking L-methylfolate.
