Excellent! I will look forward to seeing that and appreciate all the great information above. I have learned a ton in just two days, not trying to rush this but I can see how some of you who have done this more than a year really have a grip on the many variables, esp. wrt your own SNPs.Yes.
My MTHFR specialist has me on calcium folinate (folinic acid) ie bioactive form of folic acid. I used to take regular folate before due to a specialist not realising we need an active form of folate and that didnt do a thing, this other form does help me. My specialist says I should never have been put on normal form of folic as those with this MTHFR cant use that form well.
With one of the MTHFR issues you have at least, I know you need the methylB12 form for that as you need the methyl group. I do have an drawing of how this works with the methylB12 which my specialist copied for me, I'll find and post it here for you some time so you can understand this polymorphism better and where the methylB12 plays into it etc
