Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Some search terms matched…folate alongside B12. MTHFR Daily and Hydroxy B12 + Folinic Acid are relevant product discussions when they match the individualized plan. TCN2, MTR and MTRR provide pathway context, while actual deficiency and absorption concerns require c…
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Some search terms matched… approached
Identify whether the product contains nicotinic acid, niacinamide or another form before discussing B3. Dr. Purser’s course specifically prepares patients for flushing with niacin; those forms should not be treated as interchang…
Vitamin B9 (Folate)
Some search terms matched…steine.
Also called: Vitamin B9 (Folate), Folate, B9, folic acid, methylfolate, 5-MTHF, folinic acid, foods high in folate
Different folate forms, different questions
Dr. Purser’s course distinguishes methylfolate, folinic acid and methyl-f…
DAOA
Some search terms matched…ding “DAOA (AOC1)” in its gut section.
Also called: D-Amino Acid Oxidase Activator
Two similar names, two different pathways
You may see DAOA and AOC1 written together in older materials, but they are different genes. DAOA means D-amino aci…
FOLR1
Some search terms matched… not establish cerebral folate deficiency or select folinic-acid treatment; a neurological concern needs its own assessment.
A question to bring to your visit
What finding makes folate transport relevant to my symptoms, beyond the presence …
GAD1
Some search terms matched…enzyme involved in producing GABA from glutamate. B6, amino-acid findings and the person’s medication history are relevant parts of that discussion.
Putting the pieces together
When you review a GAD1 result, your clinician may also look at …
HRH2
Some search terms matched…d: Histamine Receptor H2
Histamine also connects to stomach acid
Dr. Purser’s genetics reference connects HRH2 with histamine signaling and gastric acid secretion. H2 is a receptor, so this teaching concerns response to a signal rather than…
MTHFR
Some search terms matched… the supplements you already take. If methylfolate, folinic acid or a form of B12 changes your sleep or mood, note the form, amount and timing. That response is useful history, not proof of a new diagnosis.
A question to bring to your visit…
PEMT
Some search terms matched…flux, stool changes, gallbladder history, choline and fatty-acid findings, and any past response to phosphatidylcholine. A PEMT variant alone does not diagnose fatty liver or a bile-flow problem.
A question to bring to your visit
How do my …
SHMT1
Some search terms matched…
Also called: Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase 1
Where amino acids meet folate
SHMT1 connects serine and glycine with folate pathways. That is one reason both nutrition and genetics can come up in a folate conversation. Neither a gene result…
MTHFS
Some search terms matched…FR or a direct maker of methylfolate.
Also called:
Folinic acid has its own processing step
MTHFS encodes an enzyme that converts 5-formyltetrahydrofolate into 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. This places it in folate interconversion; it is …
Transsulfuration: from homocysteine to glutathione
Some search terms matched…e · ATP
Adding glycine completes glutathione, a three-amino-acid molecule.
Glutathione synthetase, encoded by GSS, adds glycine to gamma-glutamylcysteine using ATP. Glutathione contains glutamate, cysteine and glycine. These are the body’s …
