Will it show the MTHFR mutation?
This is becoming more common than previously thought.
Some forms of depression are due to faulty methylation of
folic acid (which is the inactive form of methylfolate). There is a high dose methylfolate
on RX called Deplin that is used for some depressions.
MTHFR also impacts B12, with the mutation, you can become very low in B12 levels. Methylcobalamin is involved in many body metabolic needs including myelin repair and making melatonin from serotonin.
