Clinical Nutrigenomics: One-Carbon Metabolism, MTHFR/COMT Polymorphisms, and Unmetabolized Folic Acid Toxicity

Developing stable, bioavailable dosage forms of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) that effectively bypass common one-carbon metabolism genetic polymorphisms (e.g., MTHFR, COMT) is critical to prevent unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA) toxicity and ensure optimal folate status. This requires precise formulation to overcome stability issues inherent to reduced folates while ensuring clinical efficacy across genetically diverse populations.
