Can beef liver help if you have an MTHFR mutation.Updated a year ago

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an enzyme that converts Vitamin B9 (folate) into its active form, methyl-folate. Methylfolate is essential for a process called methylation.

If you have an MTHFR mutation, you may not be able to properly methylate folate. Methylfolate is necessary to convert homocysteine back into methionine. As a result, inadequate MTHFR activity can lead to elevated homocysteine levels, which are associated with several health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, blood clots, pregnancy complications and more.

Increasing your folate intake can help minimize the risk of developing such issues. Beef liver is an excellent source of folate. Each serving of our Grass-Fed Beef Liver contains 81.2 mcg (20% DV) of folate, among other essential micronutrients.
