What the heck is MTHFR? (And why you should worry about it)
Although it looks like an acronym for a naughty word, MTHFR stands for methyletetrahydrofolate reductase--an enzyme that converts folic acid (vitamin B9) into its usable, active form—called methyl-folate (5MTHF).
Active methyl-folate is important because it plays a crucial role in a biochemical process called methylation.
Methylation is heavily involved with your body’s ability to detox itself, as well as enzyme, hormone and neurotransmitter production, and it even affects your DNA!
