Can Diet and Supplements Compensate for MTHFR Polymorphisms?
Dietary intake of folate and B vitamins can help mitigate the effects of MTHFR polymorphisms. Individuals with these polymorphisms may benefit from increased intake of folate-rich foods or supplements like folic acid. Methylated forms of folate (e.g., 5-methyltetrahydrofolate) are often recommended because they bypass the need for MTHFR activity in their conversion.
