MTHFR genetic variant testing and support is available at our clinic.
At our clinic we will review your history and clinical findings to determine if you are a candidate to test for a genetic alteration that does not allow you to process B vitamins, especially B12 and Folate B9.
This alteration is specified as the MTHFR gene variant that limits your bodies ability to process B vitamins resulting in a variety of symptoms.
