MTHFR Basic States are an idea that generates a lot of controversy. Some well-respected practitioners don't like to use the idea at all, and some do.

We've talked about so many facets of depression with MTHFR - including the link between MTHFR and neurotransmitter formation, overlooked causes of depression, the mental bad-habit factor, and what to do about those things. What we haven't talked about, are supplements that are MTHFR-safe and also effective. Let's look at three of my favorites. This week we'll talk about:

Listeners Liana and Tim asked a couple of great questions this week so let's dive into them.

Liana asks about specific product suggestions for 5-LMTHF - we'll talk about what to look for, a few of my personal favorites, and companies that I trust.

Tim asks about whether there is or isn't folic acid in Marmite and this sent me down a rabbit hole of questions, so we'll talk through the somewhat ambiguous information that is out there on nutritional labels, and what to do with that. Also, how afraid do we need to be of added folic acid?

I'll also dive into another great yeast-based food, which is nutritional yeast and what you need to look for there.

Last week we talked about the remarkable results 5-LMTHF produced in couples struggling with infertility relative to high-dose folic acid, which is the standard of care.  This week, let's expand on that by looking at some possible risks of high-dose folic acid to those very same pregnancies.

5000 mcg folic acid is the standard of care for pregnancies that are considered high-risk and pregnancies in couples struggling with infertility. Unfortunately, many of those couples have MTHFR polymorphisms in one or both partners, and for anybody with MTHFR issues, this is going to actually impair the fertility process and damage their health.  We'll talk about one particular research study that followed 33 couples with MTHFR polymorphisms who used the simple addition of 5-LMTHF to drastically change their successful pregnancy rates.
