PURSER WELLNESSGlutathione and Your Ability To Detox?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Your body’s ability to detox depends on one critical pathway—turning homocysteine into glutathione. But for millions with MTHFR or other genetic SNPs, this process is broken, leaving them vulnerable to toxins, inflammation, and cytokine storms. That’s why VARS Glutathione is such a breakthrough: it’s reduced, functional, and proven to lower harmful cytokines like IL-8 and MCP-1, giving your body the detox power it needs. After 15 years of research and real patient results, it’s the only oral glutathione that actually works where it matters—inside your cells.

Coming soon: the DRP Genetic Cytokine Panel. This panel looks at 90 different cytokine gene SNPs. If even one of those SNPs is homozygous, it can drive major inflammatory issues that never fully settle with standard care. If you have unex

We’ve always said the same thing at Purser Wellness: you can’t really understand what’s going on by looking at just one piece of the puzzle. That’s why we look at your genetics, your intracellular nutrient levels, and your hormones togethe

What if mold exposure is only part of the story? Two people can share the same environment and have completely different experiences. Why? The answer may involve far more than the mold itself. Glutathione is one of the body's major anti

Everyone talks about MTHFR. But what if that is only one piece of the puzzle? MTHFR helps process folate, while MTR helps recycle homocysteine back into methionine with the help of vitamin B12. Two genes. Different roles. One interco

One member of the vitamin E family; it is distinct from alpha-tocopherol, the form used to establish vitamin E requirements.

A compound in black pepper that can affect absorption and metabolism of other substances.

A spice from a plant rhizome; curcumin is one of its constituents.

ADIPOQ encodes adiponectin, a hormone released by fat tissue that participates in insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. Its name often appears in discussions of triglycerides, body composition and metabolic health.

BCO1, also called BCMO1, helps convert beta-carotene from plant foods into retinal, a form used in vitamin A metabolism. Plant carotenoids and preformed vitamin A therefore enter the pathway at different points.
