Your body uses a special enzyme to turn food into real energy. However, a common genetic block can reduce this efficiency by up to 70%. Our MTHFR Gene Mutation Test in Canada pinpoints this exact issue for you. Knowing this helps you choose the right vitamins for your unique biology. Contact us to optimize your daily energy.
Whether you are dealing with unexplained fatigue, mood fluctuations, or hormone imbalances, checking your methylation pathway is a vital tool for taking control of your health. Our testing analyzes the critical players in the methylation cycle:
MTHFR C677T: This variant is most commonly associated with elevated homocysteine levels and cardiovascular risks. If you carry two copies (homozygous), your enzyme efficiency can drop by up to 70%.
MTHFR A1298C: This variant has a stronger impact on brain health. It affects the production of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), which is required to make serotonin and dopamine. Issues here are often linked to mood and cognitive function.
MTHFD1 (Synthetase): Often overlooked, this gene is crucial for choline metabolism and DNA synthesis. A mutation here can put extra stress on your liver and fertility, especially when combined with MTHFR variants.
Living in Canada presents unique physiological challenges that make methylation efficiency even more critical. Local environmental factors can exacerbate the symptoms of a mutation:
For residents facing the long, dark winters in places like Edmonton or the overcast months in Vancouver, maintaining proper neurotransmitter levels is essential. An MTHFR mutation can hinder this process, making you more susceptible to low moods.
Since 1998, Canada has mandated the fortification of white flour with folic acid (synthetic). Those with reduced MTHFR enzyme function struggle to convert synthetic folic acid into usable folate. Learn more about Vitamin D and your genes here.
Methylation is your body’s primary detox driver. Whether you live in a heritage Victorian home in Toronto with potential lead exposure or a new-build condo in Calgary with off-gassing construction materials, your body needs a functioning methylation cycle to clear toxins efficiently.
Many clients ask how to test for the MTHFR gene mutation without a referral to a geneticist. We make the process simple, non-invasive, and accessible. Unlike standard blood panels often requested at walk-in clinics, our testing focuses on your DNA. A simple cheek swab allows us to analyze your specific variants to provide a clear picture of your genetic efficiency.
Accessing specialized genetic insights shouldn’t be difficult.
Nationwide Access: We provide secure shipping and dedicated support to every province.
Coverage Reality: Specialized MTHFR testing in Ontario, Alberta, and BC is rarely covered by provincial plans like OHIP or MSP.
Direct Access: Bypass long specialist referral wait times by ordering your kit directly from us.
Doorstep Delivery: Whether you are near Parliament Hill or the Rockies, our kits arrive straight to your home.
Our comprehensive reporting goes beyond a simple positive or negative. We help you understand:
Genotype: Do you carry the C677T, A1298C, or MTHFD1 variants?
Detoxification Capability: How well does your body eliminate heavy metals and hormones?
Nutritional Needs: Do you need methylated B-vitamins instead of standard supplements?

Real Results From Canadian Patients
This was a great experience. Easy to use and the information I gained from this test was amazing. The follow up report review after my test was excellent. It explained how my
genes are affecting my health. I had been struggling to lose weight and now I think I have unlocked the keys to managing my health in a more informed manner. Thank you!
Annette W.
My results review was super informative, helped explain things to me. My consultant suggested diet changes and an array of vitamins to help me with my chronic pain.
Really enjoyed talking with her! Definitely recommended
Donna H.
Terrific experience start to finish. Gained a lot of great info and developed a clear plan for improving. The reports were clear and easy to read. The report review session was extremely valuable.
Scott M.
I would like to thank dnaPower for the experience. I’ve not received this level of customer service in a long time and it’s a breath of fresh air. The overall experience
has been great. My personal information is informative and the ability to speak to someone regarding the results is very effective. They clearly know what they’re doing. I highly recommend them if you’re interested in obtaining the information required to be the ultimate human.
Emery B.
Very happy with how quickly the results were ready and the amazing insight which has already helped me make better decisions for my long-term health.
Sarah D.
The best thing I have ever done. It was so exciting. I have learned so much about myself and it’s like fixing a broken car. My report was awesome, so clear to read and
use. I have already started making changes. I look at this report like a puzzle missing about 20 pieces. I will be working hard on putting the correct pieces back in place for a clear picture. The body is fascinating on how it works. Hard to explain but this gives me goosebumps when I think about it every day. It’s so exciting.
Thanks again, also staff just Fantastic great email response even late at night that’s customer service.
Derek D.
I was not expecting the amount of detail and insight I received from totalPower. I am still digesting all of the information. I have had a lot of light bulb moments while reading my
results and it has given my nurse practitioner some insight to the health issues I have been trying to solve. This is the first step anyone can take towards “health” care. Everyone should do this before they turn 30. So many little changes that you can do for yourself so your “disease” care which be much less in the healthcare system. I just can’t say it enough…..best purchase ever!!
Julie B.
Best thing I’ve ever done, best money ever spent, worth every penny.
Trevor F.
My report review was fantastic! The practitioner took the time to explain my results, and recommend supplements, diet and exercise to maximize my health.
Rob S.
We are beyond impressed with dnaPower! And cannot wait to implement this into our health practice!
Florilège S.
I got my whole family on board with dnaPower and wow what amazing customer service. I have never experienced customer service like that before. It made it so easy to
decide to go with dnaPower. It was very simple to do and within a month the results came back. I was very impressed with everything that came with it. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend going with dnaPower to get a better idea on your overall health.
Noah M.
My mind was blown with the information I was given on my report. Easy to read, very thorough. Every problem I’ve ever had all makes sense now! I am now supplementing
for my deficiencies and day by day I just keep getting better. I’m 26 and I’ve never felt this good. Life changing. Thank you dnaPower. Highly recommend!
Kyle E.
Knowledge is Power. Understanding your genetics is a fascinating science and I highly recommend dnaPower!

Our methylation testing panel confirms your status for MTHFR, MTHFD1, and more.
No. It is estimated that up to 40-50% of the population carries at least one variant of the MTHFR gene. It is a common genetic variation, not a disease.
If you have the mutation, regular folic acid can actually be harmful. You likely need methylfolate (5-MTHF) or folinic acid. We recommend consulting our supplements page for guidance.
Yes. The A1298C variant specifically impacts the production of BH4, which is required to make serotonin and dopamine. A blockage here is often linked to anxiety and depression.
Methylation is required for the rapid cell division that happens in fetal development. Knowing your status helps you choose the right prenatal vitamins to prevent neural tube defects.
