Title: Methylation
Post by: dangermouse on January 09, 2026, 06:17:00 PM
I just had a genetic methylation test and I have the MTHFD1 TT gene (strong) CT (medium), MTR (strong), PEMT (strong) and the COMT (medium) plus high transmitter ones.

So main thing is that this shows I do not metabolise oestrogen (and serotonin) very well and I am more prone to low progesterone levels.

I have ordered the MTHR supplement as this puts the folate back but in a way I should be able to process it.

Does anyone else have similar results and have issues tolerating oestrogen supplementation and their own oestrogen spikes?
