I just got off the phone with Solgar (a huge manufacturer of vitamin products).

We have a continuing thread here about methylfolate (MetaFolin) so the
information is there at the last post. I won't repeat it here:

In essence there is a new DNA test in place to identify genetic failures in
certain nutrients. Methylfolate is one, with the methylation failures already
identified. This test can only be sold at stores who have been especially trained in giving it and interpreting it.

The only place in Michigan that does this test so far is close to my doctor's office. So next Wednesday, I will be swinging by there and checking it out, as I have an appointment then. (saving gasoline etc).
I called and the test costs $125 and is a cheek swab. They have printed material which I will pick up and look over as well.

This looks very similar to the P450 enzyme (liver drug metabolism) tests which are now available as well. Only this one is less expensive. You have this test run YOURSELF...no doctor needed, and no insurance coverage.

This looks exciting to me. For those who can afford the test, it may be very revealing. A marketing person is due to call me back tomorrow. But I thought I could do this post at least since some public posting on the net has already been done.

IF you do a search on Nutrigenomx Solgar there are other internet sites with
information too. But Solgar has not put this on their website yet.
