Many people take Vitamin B12 but still feel tired, foggy, or low in energy. Even if your blood tests look “normal,” you might still feel exhausted. This happens because health is not just about how many vitamins you take. It is about how well your body recycles and uses those vitamins. At dnaPower, our MTRR gene mutation test looks at how your body keeps its internal engine running.
By testing your DNA, you can finally understand why your supplements might not be working the way they should.
Think of the MTRR gene as a battery charger for your body. Vitamin B12 is the battery that powers your methylation cycle. However, B12 is not a one-time-use vitamin.
Your body must:
If your MTRR gene is less efficient, your B12 “battery” stays drained. This means even if you take a lot of B12, it stays inactive and useless in your system.
Many people focus on the MTHFR gene or the MTR gene. While those are important, they cannot do their jobs without MTRR.
Methylation is a connected system that affects:
We test the full pathway, including genes like FUT2 (which handles B12 absorption) to see where your cycle is stalling.
We assess the full methylation pathway, including:
Together, these genes explain why B12, folate, and methylation support may succeed or fail.
This gene acts like a cleanup crew that resets your vitamins so your heart and brain can use them over and over again throughout the day.
Low Energy & “Winter Fatigue”
MTRR variations can slow down your energy production. This can lead to a type of tiredness that feels like you are running on empty, especially during long winters when your body is under more stress.
Plant-Based & Low-B12 Diets
If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, you are likely already getting less B12 from food. If your MTRR gene is also slow at recycling the B12 you do have, your energy levels can drop very quickly.
Heart & Brain Health
Reduced MTRR activity can contribute to:
Blood B12 levels only show what is circulating—not whether B12 is:
This is why people can have “normal” labs but still feel unwell.
If your MTRR gene needs extra support, you might experience:

If your DNA results show that your recycling process is slow, you can help your body by:
Your dnaPower report helps you understand:
This information is part of your Total Health Blueprint, which looks at methylation as a system, not a single gene.
We are a Canadian company that specializes in easy-to-use DNA tests. We don’t just give you a list of confusing numbers. Instead, we provide a Total Health Blueprint with simple steps you can take to feel better. Our testing is secure, private, and based right here in Canada.
You don’t have to live with mystery fatigue or brain fog. Your DNA is like a map that shows exactly how to fuel your body and keep your energy high. Once you know your MTRR status, through our MTRR gene testing, you can stop wasting money on vitamins that your body cannot use. It is time to stop the guesswork and start feeling like yourself again.
