Do You Want A Glimpse of Your Genetic Makeup? Take Control of Your Health. MTHFR Genotyping Offered at Integrative Medicine of New Jersey SpectraCell Laboratories’ MTHFR Genotyping Test looks at subtle differences in the MTHFR gene called a polymorphism or SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism), which is a genetic variation that can either increase or decrease…
We are carbon-based creatures, chock full of carbon containing molecules. So it should come as little surprise to you that one of the most important chemical reactions in all of life simply sticks one carbon and 3 hydrogens together to form a methyl group, and that adding that on to molecules (called methylation) to transform…
