Note: Maternal and Paternal Haplogroups are not very indicative of overall ancestry, as they just pinpoint an ancestor from the purely maternal or paternal line. Also, gender can be inferred from lack of a paternal haplogroup report. Self-identified ethnicity may be a better measure.

 

B. Blood test results

 

 

Crossover Study Phases:

1 - Initial wash-out period

2 - Drug store multivitamin (Centrum) only

3 - L-methylfolate only

4 - Drug store multivitamin (Centrum) + L-methylfolate

5 - Final wash-out period

 

Other possible phases:

* "Mega-dose" multivitamin only (for example: Solgar Vegetarian Multiple)

* Personal vitamin regimen -- will differ, so not good for comparison, but may be useful for individual tracking
