The Impact of MTHFR Gene Variations on Health

MTHFR gene variations, such as the C6770 and A1298C, can affect the body's ability to produce proteins and impact mood, focus, and attention. Individuals with these variations may benefit from increased intake of methylated B vitamins, such as methyl folate, to support their health. The gene's expression can be influenced by factors like alcohol intake, diet changes, and stress, highlighting the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
