With the MTHFS mutation, it seems as though I should avoid all sources of folate that are not methylfolate. Does this sound correct? My symptoms all started after I started eating more spinach/broccoli and olive oil on a regular basis. Assuming I refrain from eating these, will my methylation status slowly revert back to normal assuming I stay away from all folinic acid? What are your experiences?

Guys

I've just had some blood work done:

Vitamin D: 53 nmol/L (normal: 75-150) (translates to 21 ng/ml)
Homocysteine: 11.2 µmol/L (normal: 5.0-12.0)

So it's clear that I need to supplement with some D3. I'm starting on 5,000-7,500 IU daily.

Is this homocysteine considered high, even though it's in the normal range? What is "optimal"?

Thanks
