    Why To Buy

    This MTHFR test checks for genetic variations that can affect how your body processes folate, potentially contributing to various health issues.

    Finding the cause(s) of:

    • Blood clots: Certain MTHFR variations can increase homocysteine levels, which is a risk factor for blood clots.
    • Developmental delays: Understanding MTHFR status may help investigate potential links to developmental issues related to folate metabolism.
    • Genetic predisposition: This test identifies specific genetic variations in the MTHFR gene, revealing your predisposition to related health conditions.
    • Heart disease: High homocysteine levels, sometimes linked to MTHFR variations, are a known risk factor for heart disease.
    • High homocysteine: The MTHFR gene plays a role in processing homocysteine, and variations can lead to elevated levels.
    • Migraines: Some studies suggest a possible link between certain MTHFR variations and an increased risk of migraines.
    Symptoms Blood clots, Developmental delays, Genetic predisposition, Heart disease, High homocysteine, Migraines
