MTHFR Gene Test
The MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene plays a critical role in processing amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Mutations in this gene can affect the body's ability to convert folate (vitamin B9) into its active form, which is essential for numerous bodily functions, including DNA synthesis and repair, detoxification and neurotransmitter production (e.g. serotonin, dopamine). The two known mutations in the MTHFR gene, C677T and A1298C, can lead to reduced enzyme activity, affecting your body's ability to process folate efficiently, potentially leading to various health issues such as depression or anxiety, low energy, ADHD, infertility, insomnia, high blood pressure and more.
One test, with your unique DNA results, that lasts a LIFETIME (as your DNA doesn’t change).

What is being Tested?
Discover the power of understanding your genetic blueprint with our MTHFR Gene Mutation Testing. This test is designed to identify specific mutations in the MTHFR gene, which can significantly impact your overall health and wellbeing. By analysing these mutations, we can provide you with personalised insights to optimise your health strategies.There are two primary mutations in the MTHFR gene: C677T and A1298C. These mutations can lead to reduced enzyme activity, affecting your body's ability to process folate efficiently, potentially leading to various health issues.
Symptoms indicating the need for MTHFR testing
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it might be beneficial to consider MTHFR gene mutation testing:
- Chronic fatigue or persistent tiredness
- Mood disorders such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, or irritability
- Difficulty concentrating or brain fog
- Recurrent miscarriages or fertility issues
- Cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure and elevated homocysteine levels
- Digestive issues, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and food sensitivities
- Migraines or frequent headaches
Benefits of Understanding Your MTHFR Gene Mutation Status
Knowing your MTHFR gene mutation status can have a profound impact on your health management strategies:
1. Personalised Nutrition: Tailor your diet to ensure adequate intake of folate and other essential nutrients that support methylation and overall health.
2. Supplementation Guidance: Identify the need for specific supplements, such as methylated folate and B vitamins, TMG and choline to support optimal enzyme function and reduce potential health risks.
3. Disease Prevention: Take proactive steps to manage conditions linked to MTHFR mutations, such as cardiovascular diseases, mental health disorders, and reproductive health issues.
4. Detoxification Support: Enhance your body's natural detoxification processes by understanding how to support methylation pathways effectively.
5. Overall Wellbeing: Empower yourself with knowledge to make informed lifestyle choices that can improve your energy levels, mood, and overall quality of life.
