What is MTHFR? What can YOU do about it?
In the descriptionMTHFR is one of the most studied genetic SNPs, with the two main variants being C677T and A1298C. These changes reduce the body’s ability to process folate and make energy, leaving people exhausted and deficient in key nutrients. Specialized folates, B12 forms, and glutathione can bypass the blockages, and products like MTHFR Daily were designed specifically to fill these nutrient gaps so patients can restore energy and thrive.
What is MTHFR?
In the descriptionDr. Purser explains the diagnosis and treatment of MTHFR (methylenteterahydrofolate reductase enzyme deficiency disease). Learn the genetic component of this illness (such as C677T or A1298C) and how it affects the body's inability of methylation to convert carbohydrates into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
Discover how the complex enzyme pathways of the Krebs cycle and citric acid cycle convert carbohydrate molecules into ATP molecules in the mitochondria. Explore the relationship of MTHFR to vitamin and hormone deficiencies while understanding how vitamin supplements can replace key missing (u

In the article…THFR SUPPORT PLUS is almost (nothing’s perfect— right?) for A1298C MTHFR or Compound Heterozygous MTHFR. This contains FOLINIC ACID and not the Quatrafolate that the C677T errors need. Great stuff. Try the PLUS with the MTHFR SUPPORT.

This is a great test for those with A1298C and especially who are Homozygous A1298C. Neopterin is bad while biopterin is good. If neopterin is repeatedly high, the BH4 is low.
Neopterin is a sensitive marker of cellu…

The Hidden Molecule Driving Inflammation: Understanding the Purser Model of Homocysteine
Related readingMost people have never heard of homocysteine, yet this small molecule may hold the key to understanding inflammation, cardiovascular disease, neurological problems, and many chronic conditions.
For decades, homocysteine was viewed as a toxic substance in the blood. Doctors were taught that lowering it with B-vitamins might reduce heart disease risk. But research results were inconsistent, leaving many physicians unsure whether homocysteine truly mattered.
New research and clinical observations are changing that view.
We introduce a new framework called the Purser Model, which explains why homo
