OT: Anyone with MTHFR mutation?

[Guest guest]

I'm just wondering if anyone here has the MTHFR mutation and if so, what

are you doing to support detoxing. My husband is homozygous A1298C and

my son is compound heterozygous A1298C and C677T. Both mutations effect

methylation and detox. They are both currently taking methylfolate and

methyl B12 but I wonder if there is anything else that they could be

taking to help.

Thanks!

Hi Barb,

I take a product called DMG (dimethylglycine) made by DaVinci Labs of Vermont

(davincilabs.com). It is a tiny tablet that dissolves under the tongue, and I

take 2, 6x/day. I am a mess without it! There are capule forms of DMG and TMG,

but they don't do anything for me that I can notice. It must all be lost in my

digestive system (like a lot of things that I ingest). It is available in the

health-food stores in boxes of 60 foil-wrapped tablets, but if you can find a

source who can order direct from Food Science (the mother company), you can get

the 90-tablet boxes for less, especially if you order a case at a time. You

might want to try a box of 60 and see how they work for you before you look for

a source for the 90's. And you might not need to take as many as I do. I think

I started with 2, 2x/day.
