how does methylation help

I was recently tested for the MTHFR mutation. I have one of them. My naturopath is going to explain to me what it means and what supplements I need to take. This is new to me. Has anyone taken the methylation supplements? How does it help.

I haven't looked into it in detail, but my understanding is that simply having a mutation doesn't mean that you'll experience any effects from it. If you're going to look deeper into the issues, do read the counterarguments rather than just the sales pitches from people who profit from treatments and supplements. Then you can make an educated decision as to whether it's worth trying.
