Having done now nearly 100 consults for MTHFR and working with nearly triple that through email correspondence, I have seen a trend that must be made public knowledge.
I am seeing sometimes incredible improvement in energy, muscle health, decreased muscle pain, improved adrenals and decreased frequency of urination through a drink mix I’ve created for my clients.
Some MD made the Florida Gators a pretty famous drink. You may have heard of that corn syrup laden, food colored beverage called Gatorade.
I welcome you to try MTHFRade.
Dr Ben’s MTHFRade consists of the following mixed in a 1 liter stainless steel water bottle:
- Filtered water
- Electrolyte Concentrate: add 1 capful per 8 oz
- Optimal Vitamin C Powder: add 1 to 2 scoops per liter.
- D-Ribose Powder: add 1 to 2 scoops per liter.
- Bioplasma Cell Salts: add 30 tablets per liter. NOTE: Contains lactose so if lactose intolerant, do not add.
Benefits people are experiencing from MTHFRade:
- Decreased urination (those who were urinating too frequently throughout the day/night)
- Improved energy
- Decreased ‘brain fog’
- Significantly reduced symptoms of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
- Increased hydration
- Ability to absorb critical nutrients easily
- Decreased dry mouth and dry skin
- Decreased muscle cramps
How to drink MTHFRade?
- Desk jockey? Mix in the morning and drink throughout the entire day. Keep this at your desk and take sips throughout the day. Do not drink all at once.
- Exercising? Mix prior to your exercise routine and take with you. This helps prevent muscle cramps, increases energy and performance.
- Sauna or Epsom Salt Baths? Mix prior to your epsom salt bath and take with you. Drink during your epsom salt bath – and afterwards to prevent electrolyte loss and improve the benefits of the epsom salt bath.
How does MTHFRade taste?
In my opinion, excellent. A bit sour, a bit salty, a bit sweet. My children even enjoy it. So far I’ve had no complaints.
Are there any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in MTHFRade?
Need you ask that? Come on now. None. Absolutely none.
Are there are any potential side effects from MTHFRade?
Some may find increased gas initially. If this is the case, simply reduce the amounts of all the nutrients by half and then work up to what is comfortable for you.
Some may find their stools are a bit harder to pass if they add too much Electrolyte Concentrate. This makes sense. Find your balance. The recommended amounts are commonly well tolerated.
Some find they no longer crave the sugary drinks or energy drinks like they used to.
NOTE: Some may find themselves drinking more than one liter of this solution daily (I am guilty of this). Is this ok? Yes. Not a problem as long as your digestion and body welcome the nutrients.
I’m drinking it right now, in fact. How do you think I get through so many consults in a day plus all the emails? 
Give MTHFRade a shot. Let me know how it has improved your symptoms after you’ve tried it for a week or so.
Hello Dr. Lynch…
Can you verify for me that it is okay to take d-ribose if one has yeast issues/concerns?
Thanks
Elizabeth –
D-Ribose is a sugar highly utilized by your muscles. What I recommend doing is drinking a little of it throughout the day – which is what you are doing in MTHFRade.
Many take D-ribose all at once – a 5 gram scoop – you will be taking it in small amounts all day long.
I highly recommend potent probiotics such as ProBiota 12 Powder, Saccharomyces Boulardii and also an antifungal blend such as Microbial Defense. These and a brief explanation of why/how to use them is found here in the Yeast and Candida Elimination area.
What is your take/opinion on alkaline water (naturally alkaline or machine made alkaline)? I can feel fairly lousy when drinking this, even just a glass or two a day! I don’t know if that is good for me, although theoretically, alkaline water is detoxifying. However… if my body, d/t complex methylation issues, cannot eliminate what the alkaline water might be ‘detoxing,’ then this is probably not wise. I am interested in your opinion. Thank you.
Elizabeth –
That is interesting. I am not sure of this connection. I do not see a connection but it may exist.
If you find out something that is credible, please do let me know.
I own and use an Akai Water Ionizer and use it for my family. We feel great with it.
I do not know if there is a connection or not. I seem to react to sooooo many supplements that I am becoming a big paranoid about things that may be exacerbating my symptoms. I have had days of ingesting alkaline water without any apparent increase in “symptoms/body aches.” However, I am beginning to question everything! Just curious…. do you drink alkaline water exclusively? Do you use filtered (R/O?) water in your Akai Water Ionizer?
BTW… I am eager to consult with you but I am most certain that I am in need of the new lab work that is nearly available. At $475.00 plus a $195.00 consultation fee, and knowing I will need the same for my son as well, has me a bit shaken; but I know we need the information in order to be able to move forward with our health. Thanks for being the mad scientist who is willing to connect the dots to these fascinating and frustrating health issues.

I want to be able to offer quantity discounts on the new test. I am talking with the lab about this. Let me work on them
I use my Akai Ionizer exclusively at home but I drink filtered water at my office using a standard 10 stage water filter.
You react to so many supplements likely due to detoxing too quickly or having other mutations that cause various biochemical pathways to operate differently – not to mention that perhaps you are taking the wrong ones or too much.
Hi Ben,
Instead of the bioplasma cell salts in tablet form that contain lactose, can we use the homeopathic spray? If so, how many sprays? Thanks!
Natalia –
You may just skip the Bioplasma cell salts. Homeopathic sprays are different than cell salts and may cause issues.
Hi Dr. Ben,
I have a few questions about the ade. First, my almost 3 month old has had bad colic and reflux. She was born via c-section at 37 weeks. She’s my 5th child. I have had adrenal/CFS issues my whole life and during this last pregnancy, it was discovered that I have 2 copies of C677T and FVL after developing a large clot.
That’s my background! I’ve started your protocol of supplements and this drink. I have two questions about the drink. Can I mix up a 3-cup serving and just sip from it during the day? (I just gulped a whole 8oz of it just now–it was good!).
Also, I have eliminated dairy, soy, and gluten (I have celiac anyways), to see if it will help the baby with her gas pains. I didn’t realize that the BioPlasma salts had lactose in them. Do you think it is enough to cause a problem in the baby?
I’ve been off all gluten since before pregnancy and off of dairy and soy for a week. She is a bit happier during the day, but the nights are still awful. I’m not sure if the dairy was the culprit or not. I really miss my 24 hour cultured homemade yogurt!
Hi ~ wondering if Concentrace by Trace Minerals Research could be used in the drink instead of the Elyte Electrolytes? Is there any reason it wouldn’t be good? Thanks!
