Methylfolate starts many critical enzymatic reactions, affecting one’s ability to produce a compound called SAMe, which it needs to produce CoQ10, carnitine and creatine, all needed for reproduction. The MTHFR defect elevates homocysteine and this contributes to miscarriages, and other reproductive challenges. So what to do if you have been struggling to conceive or are experiencing miscarriages? Test for MTHFR with your OB\/GYN or RE. Make sure you are getting plenty of organic, leafy, dark greens (both cooked & uncooked) in your diet, and switch to a prenatal that has the bioavailability of folic acid in it so that you are covering your bases. Talk to your OB\/GYN, RE, nutritionist, naturopath or doctor of acupuncture & Chinese Medicine to set you up with the supplementation that can help you conceive more easily.<\/div>\n
