🔬 What is VARS? Why the VARS Trio (Glutathione + SOD + Catalase) is a game-changer for inflammation, recovery & fibromyalgia.
Jackson Larkin sits down with Lois Schweiger to break down Dr. Dan Purser MD’s VARS line — Validated, Absorbable, Reduced, and Stable antioxidants. Learn the science behind VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD (from deep-sea algae near volcanic vents), and the newest VARS Catalase (Nrf2 activator from seaweed).
Discover:
• How the VARS Triad works together in the mitochondria to fight oxidative stress and cytokines
• Why Catalase dramatically improved post-workout recovery (especially leg day!)
• Genetics, homocysteine, PEMT, and why many with fibro benefit from this protocol
• The importance of CMA (intracellular) testing and when to retest
• Real patient results, including severe inflammation cases
Perfect for anyone dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, slow recovery, or looking for root-cause support.
**June Anniversary Special**: $100 off Genetic + CMA testing — one order will be fully reimbursed!

The older Purser genetics reference uses the heading “DAOA (AOC1)” in its gut section.
Also called: D-Amino Acid Oxidase Activator
Two similar names, two different pathways
You may see DAOA and AOC1 written together in older materials, but …
MMP3 encodes matrix metalloproteinase 3, an enzyme involved in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix. Controlled remodeling is part of repair, while excess activity can accompany inflammatory tissue damage.
VDR encodes the vitamin D receptor, which helps regulate gene activity in response to active vitamin D. A receptor variant does not by itself mean receptors are absent or that the blood vitamin D level is low.
GSTO2 encodes glutathione S-transferase omega 2, a redox enzyme with dehydroascorbate reductase activity that connects glutathione chemistry with vitamin C recycling. It is a separate gene from GSTO1.

This is the BEST way to look at what your Copper is really doing. Is it getting into the cells, or building up in other places? Let’s see! Non-Ceruloplasmin Copper Calculator Calculate NCC in Seconds Enter zinc, copper, and ceruloplasmin exactly as they appear on a lab report. The calculator converts units, calculates the copper:zinc ratio, and highlights the percent of non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper. Lab Inputs Use the unit dropdowns to match the lab report. The app normalizes everything to µg/dL before calculating. Zinc Required for copper:zinc ratio Total Copper Required for all NCC calcula
