MTHFR

MTHFR gene mutation can significantly impact your health by affecting folate metabolism and homocysteine levels.

MTHFR

The Significance of MTHFR Testing

The MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene mutation can significantly impact your health by affecting folate metabolism and homocysteine levels. Identifying these mutations through genetic testing is crucial for tailoring effective nutritional interventions, especially for enhancing circulation.

Folic Acid Methylation and Health

Folic acid methylation is a key component for stabilizing our health. It controls multiple biochemical processes and is essential for stabilizing our DNA, critical for gene expression, and maintaining telomere length. Unhealthy DNA (due to improper methylation) can be a significant cause of diseases, especially cancers.

Enhancing Circulation with EB-C3®

Understanding the Impact of MTHFR on Circulation

MTHFR mutations can lead to elevated homocysteine levels, which are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including poor circulation. Proper management of these levels is essential for maintaining healthy blood flow and overall cardiovascular health.

The Role of Active Folate and Vitamin B12

For methylation to work properly, a combination of the active form of folate and the active form of vitamin B12 is necessary. It is critical that they’re taken together in appropriate dosing and ratio to ensure effective methylation.

EB-C3®: Your Solution for Better Circulation

EB-C3® is specifically formulated to support circulation by addressing the nutritional deficiencies caused by MTHFR mutations. It includes:

  • Folate (as L-methylfolate): The active form of folate that bypasses the MTHFR mutation, reducing homocysteine levels and supporting cardiovascular health.
  • Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin): Works synergistically with L-methylfolate to support proper methylation and overall health.

Conditions

What we work with:

Sprains, Strains & Tears

Sprains, Strains & Tears

A muscle strain is an injury to a muscle and/or the associated tendons.

Ligament Injury

Ligament Injury

Ligaments are strong connective tissue composed of smaller fibrous tissues. They connect bones to other bones and are critical in stabilizing joints.

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendon injuries are one of the most common sports medicine injuries.
