POTS: Genetics, Causes, and Solutions for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Explore the genetic basis of POTS, from HLA and norepinephrine transporter variants to EDS, MCAS, and long Covid connections, plus strategies to better manage symptoms.

Glutamate: Synthesis, transport, and supplement interactions

Glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter, is tightly regulated through synthesis, transporters, and GABA balance, with genetic variants influencing risk for migraines, OCD, seizures, and schizophrenia.

MTR and MTRR genetic variants, Vitamin b12 genetic variants, choosing the right form of B12 for your genetic variants

Vitamin B12, MTR & MTRR, and Methylation

There are several genes that can influence your absorption, transport, and need for vitamin B12. Some people need higher amounts of B12, and some people thrive on different forms of B12. Take a look at your genetic data to see if you should up your intake of B12.
