Methylation
Methylation is the cell’s way of switching things on and off and of recycling homocysteine. It runs on folate and B12, and a few genes set how fast the cycle turns.
On your file
Read on your file: MTHFR — mildly reduced MTHFR activity (~65%); usually benign with adequate folate. MTHFR — one 1298C allele; minimal effect alone. Not read: MTRR, MTR, CBS.
Keep folate-rich foods regular (leafy greens, legumes, citrus).
