Lab - MTHFR & COMT

Both MTHFR and COMT genes are involved in the methylation pathway and testing their function is an important component of your anti-aging strategy. Think of billions of on/off switches that control most of your body’s functions such as: Brain chemistry is important for mood, anxiety, and stress Immune function Controlling inflammation Energy production Detoxification of chemicals and toxins Cardiovascular health When methylation is working, it helps you feel full of energy, in a good mood, and just generally well! When it is not working, you can feel tired, depressed, irritable, run-down, susceptible to infections, foggy-brained, and just plain "toxic." This genetic methylation profile looks for gene variants (also called SNP's) of the following two enzymes: MTHFR - (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) Research has shown that some people may be at risk of methylation insufficiency due to reduced MTHFR enzyme function. Two common variants in the MTHFR gene (C677T and A1298C)
