Sorry, the CMTT is an error on my part.... C677T is a cousin which is a methyl transferase enzyme. It looks from what I see posted here to be included with the MTHFR snps.

I am sorry it is the C677T... My old brain has always been confused with abbreviations.

The risks for using folate in high doses, pertains to having low B12 and not knowing it. In these cases, the folate masks neurological symptoms leading to damage.

This is why RX folate of 1mg or above requires a doctor's prescription.

Folate is added to cereals, flour, and pastas. (also breads) in the US.
