Dirty Genes + MTHFR | Dr. Ben Lynch
The Dr. Tyna Show
**methylfolate mthfr intro **
Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, requires conversion to its active form, FAD, which is dependent on adequate thyroid hormone levels; hence, hypothyroidism can impede this process. Genetic testing can reveal variations in genes linked to folate metabolism, particularly the MTHFR gene, which is critical for producing methyl folate. Methyl folate forms the majority of folate in the bloodstream, and a deficiency can lead to significant health issues, including increased risk of cancer, depression, and cardiovascular disease. Distinguishing between typical and atypical genetic variations is essential for understanding individual health risks and the importance of sufficient methyl folate levels for overall well-being.
