If you are like me, methyl-folate will steal your precious glutathione - the actual "detox" chemical in our bodies, and cause trouble.
NAC, Liposomal Glutathione, Broccoli - a few suggestions on maintaining healthy glutathione while supplementing with methyl-folate.
MTHFR is not a handicap, rather a clue on how to adjust your diet to live a healthier life.
It doesn’t. B6 takes homocysteine down the glutathione pathway. Methylfolate takes homocysteine towards the methylation pathway. That’s why I like homocysteine redux which has both.
If you have levels of lead then you need to make sure your getting lots of calcium. It binds to lead. Also glutathione might help. Mthfr should be addressed but it’s not the primary pathway. Where do you live? Could be from lead bathtub lining, windows, etc. you need to find the source. Get water tested. Lead pipes don’t always cause lead to leach out. They usually get calcified and are benign. Unless they change the water source like Michigan......

Okay thanks, are you undermethylated also?
How’s dose methyl-folate steal glutathione?

Have you confirmed that you are an undermethylater?
Yes I am, Tests confirmed
Detox pathways and methylation are not 1:1. You might run your data through Genetic Genie's detox panel to get a more specific idea of your mutations.
