Does anyone have the mthfr mutation and found a good supplement to take?

With mthfr I can't take regular Vitamins with b12 as cyanocobalamin and I can't take folic acid (have to take methylfolate).

Anyone have ideas?

Wow were twins! So if you don't mind, how much have you lost? I'm so scared I'll go through it all, have problems and still not lose.

Yeah i know!!

I had my sleeve done on the 20th April and have lost 22 pounds (10kg) so far.... but i have been very sensible with my eating and physical activity... my focus is on healing right now.

I know people lose much more during this time, but i am also considered a "lightweight".. so weight loss will generally be slower than someone who has more to lose

Well that's 17 more than I've lost in 2 years so good job! Lol. Good luck to you. I'm anxiously waiting to see if my insurance will cover it or not. I get a different answer each time on whether it's covered or not. :/ so emotional.

Thank you... im hoping i can get back to my goal weight.... if i can do that.. ill be really happy, i felt so much better physically and emotionally when i was at goal.

I hope your insurance approves it, keep me posted on how you go

I am taking "Active B12 with L-5-MTHF" lozenges from Seeking Health brand. Why wouldn't you just add it as a supplement?

I will let you know. Hope to hear next week. We submitted without psych evaluation just to see if it comes back that the surgery will be covered with psych. I don't wanna pay another $140 just to find out its not covered.

I don't seem to improve levels with oral supplements. I'm currently doing injections of methyl b with methyl folate and an additional hydroxy b injection. Those have helped a lot. But I'll be changing insurance any my doctor doesn't take the new one. At 400 per appt, I won't be able to go back to her for refill. I think we will have kaiser and I've not heard good things about the more holistic approaches with kaiser. Closed minded was what friends have said.
