Hi, many years ago I was found to have the MTHFR gene mutation which caused hyperhomocysteinaemia. I was advised to take 5mgs of Folic Acid a day which I did for years. Then when I got my current problem and was referred to the Prof of Metabolic Medicine he was horrified that I'd been taking so much Folic Acid. He said new research showed it vastly increased the chances of getting cancer.

Now I take no supplements unless blood tests show a definite deficiency. I currently have a B 12 and Vitamin D deficiency and I take a B 12 injection and Vit D tablets.

Regards

Chirley
