My brother found that he had this mutation via 23andme. Supplementing with 5-MTHF has changed both our lives, as well as my mother's (who was previously suffering from debilitating depression and anxiety).
It's not expensive if you do 23andMe then import your data into geneticgenie.org

Except if you do 23andMe you then have a legal obligation to provide any learnings to health insurance companies. Yeah, that's right, we live in a world that actively hinders being proactive about healthcare.

Since when?

The B complex changed my life too -- relieved the fatigue I was feeling daily despite plenty of sleep, and gave me the energy to start better habits that pulled me out of a depressive episode.
I had back pain sleeping for a long time, fatigue, and tons of muscle twitching (even in supplementing magnesium and vitamin d), and a methylated b-complex effectively eliminated my symptoms.
The test to check for an MTHFR mutation is expensive, but supplementing a methylated high-quality b-complex isn't.
