Folic acid is biologically inactive and does not exist in nature.
Doctors say “If you don’t have MTHFR, you can take folic acid.”
Wrong
Humans should not use folic acid.
Folic acid must go through a very slow enzyme called DHFR. DHFR is about 5 genes above MTHFR. So it’s not about if you have or don’t have MTHFR.
It’s that you should not consume folic acid because your body can’t process it due to biologically slow DHFR enzyme.
All humans are somewhat Cerebral Folate Deficient if they’re consuming processed foods, drinks and folic acid.
How severe or mild is your cerebral folate deficiency?
You have it if you’re eating processed food and drinks.
It’s not if you have or don’t have cerebral folate deficiency.
It’s how much better would your brain function if you were eating whole foods and healthy drinks avoiding folic acid.
Anxiety and depression are on the spectrum of severity.
Autism is a spectrum.
ADHD is a spectrum.
Learning disabilities are a spectrum.
From the study:
“This study demonstrated that serum 5MTHF (methylfolate) concentration was only 2%–6% of serum total folate during high‐dose FA (folic acid) therapy, which suggests a considerable accumulation of unmetabolized FA that affects 5MTHF transport at the choroid plexus.
We also demonstrated that CSF 5MTHF concentration was approximately 15%–24% of CSF total folate during high‐dose FA therapy, suggesting the presence of unmetabolized FA in the CSF as well. The FA transported into the CSF instead of 5MTHF is biologically inactive and cannot be efficiently metabolized to 5MTHF in the central nervous system because of extremely low DHFR activity in the brain 29 (Figure 1). In addition, FA was reported to inhibit MTHFR, causing pseudo‐MTHFR deficiency syndrome.”
What to do?
Stop eating processed foods and drinks.
Get your brain back.
Tell to start adding Folinic Acid (calcium folinate) to processed foods. Folinic acid is stable, biologically active and supports the brain folate levels.
