Vitamins and Minerals Can Fix Genetic Weaknesses

So far genetic research mostly scares people – do you really want to know if you possess a genetic weakness likely to cause disease?  New research is showing that most people carry numerous functional gene problems that may be readily corrected with vitamins and minerals.  In the current study the researchers used folic acid to fix significant abnormalities in gene function that otherwise elevates homocysteine and lead to disease.  The researchers concluded “In those people, supplementation of folate in the diet can reduce levels of that metabolite and reduce disease risk.”

The authors explained “There are over 600 human enzymes that use vitamins or minerals as cofactors, and this study reports just what we found by studying one of them.  What this means is that, even if the odds of an individual having a defect in one gene is low, with 600 genes, we are all likely to have some mutations that limit one or more of our enzymes.”

It is well understood that functional weaknesses in genes are going to manifest as an individual is placed under more stress, is in a wear and tear trend, or simply as part of aging.  To promote the healthy function of your genes a fine quality multiple vitamin and multiple mineral should be used by everyone.
