What is MTHFR and why is it important?
MTHFR is an enzyme required to convert folic acid into an active form called L-methylfolate that is usable by our bodies. L-methylfolate plays an important role in making neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which help regulate mood.
Some people carry a mutation in the MTHFR gene, which limits their ability to create L-methylfolate.
