URGENT: Go to your medicine cabinet and find your multivitamin or other supplements that you are currently taking. Now take a look at the ingredients. If it says folic acid or folic acid (folate), kindly throw it in the trash; which is where it belongs. The ingredients should say: Folate, Methyl folate or 5-MTHF NOT folic acid.
WHY: 50% of the population have a genetic disorder, MTHFR gene mutation, which inhibits conversion of “synthetic folic acid” into FOLATE.
People with this disorder may have:
Increase risk of blood clots & cardiovascular dz
Difficulty concentrating & memory issues
Insomnia and sleep disturbances
Fatigue and low energy levels
Anxiety and depression
High blood pressure
