Today Tonight Story, featuring Folinic Acid
As seen on Today Tonight, Adelaide GP Dr. Peter Tunbridge believes that up to half of Australia’s population could be unknowingly carrying a genetic defect which can cause weight gain. "It's called the MTHFR gene polymorphism and the actual problem that occurs is that these people can't change naturally occurring folic acid into the active form that the body requires to carry out its biochemistry," said Dr. Tunbridge. By supplementing the diet with a daily dose of Folinic Acid and adhering to a comprehensive diet and exercise program, many patients have experienced significant weight loss success. |

Currently the only available source of Folinic Acid in Australia, Dr Vera’s Pure Innovation Folinic Acid can be obtained by making an appointment with a Healthcare Practitioner at clinics and pharmacies.

Baseline weight and measurements were taken for
two female patients. Ideal weight was determined
by ascertaining a BMI of 23 for their height.
Pathology testing consisted of weight management metabolites. Common results for this test are elevated suberic acid, cis-aconitic acid and fumaric acid; for which the treatment is acetyl-L-carnitine, CoQ10 and B-vital.
Follow up consultations were every two weeks.
Both were prescribed Thermolight, 1 serve per day (am).
Dietary recommendation was for 40:30:30 type balanced diet (carbohydrate : protein : fat). Protein requirement was based on ideal weight (kg) x 0.9 x EF. With EF standing for exercise factor. (For an explanation on how to derive the EF for your clients, consult the Clinical Weight Management program.)
Both clients were encouraged to exercise, with the minimum requirement being walking 3-4 times a week for 30 – 40 minutes.
After eight weeks of treatment both had achieved significant weight loss, increased energy and sense of well being. Results summarised below.
