Deep dives
The MTHFR gene mutation and its impact on anxiety
People with the MTHFR gene mutation may experience anxiety on and off throughout their lifetime. This mutation affects the body's ability to convert folic acid into the usable form, methylfolate. When there is a deficiency in methylfolate, neurotransmitters called catecholamines, which are involved in the fight or flight response, can be dysregulated. Supplementing with methylfolate can help restore normal neurotransmitter function and alleviate anxiety symptoms.
