In reply to Re: Can anyone interpret MTHFR Gene Test Results?, posted by mogger on August 13, 2011, at 0:24:03
>My GP did say it takes 4-6 weeks to see improvement and 15mg is the effective dose.
I tested homozygous for MTHFR C677T and heterozygous for A1298T but my homocysteine levels test consistently normal though my LDL is slightly elevated possibly secondary to fibromyalgia and possibly elevated inflammatory factors. I have started taking multivitamins from Thorne which contains 400mcg of 5-L-MTHFR without any perceivable benefit. My pdoc gave me some samples of Deplin but I'm wondering if I should wait to take it along with whatever new medication he might prescribe at my upcoming appointment because I've never heard of Deplin as mono therapy. I don't currently take anything for anxiety and depression because I cannot tolerate most AD due to side effects and my new pdoc is finally putting his thinking cap on to see what new ideas he can up with. The dose of 5-L-MTHFR in the multivit might be too low.
I don't think you can make generalizations about genetic polymorphisms because I never had difficulty getting pregnant taking prenatal vitamins which contained regular folic acid. There must be redundancies in folate metabolism in the human body.
What factors would suggest success using Deplin?
