Brain, Pain or Vein Problems? MTHFR Methylation Flaw May Be the Cause

Guest Post by Lauren Miyamasu, RN, FNP Student WSU

Do you have “Brain, Pain, or Vein” problems? Eating plenty of leafy green and yellow vegetables can help clear up that foggy, forgetful brain, decrease those body aches and pains, and decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, and pregnancy complications! But you need to have enough of the “right stuff” (aka an enzyme called “MTHFR”) to help process those veggies into useful forms! Some of us are lacking that enzyme. However, by supplementing with methyl folate and methyl B12 vitamins, we can help the problems!

Here are some links for more information on MTHFR:
