PURSER WELLNESSWhat Makes A Functional Glutathione?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Most glutathione supplements fail because they break down before your body can use them. VARS Glutathione is different—it’s patented, validated, and proven to raise real intracellular glutathione levels. That means it actually works to calm inflammation, lower cytokines, and protect your cells where it matters most.

Dr. Purser’s report looks at the immune signals involved in inflammation of the colon.

Lichen planus can affect skin, mouth, nails, and other surfaces.

Explore rs1800925, rs20541, IL-13 receptor terminology, and biologic and antioxidant approaches.

Explore death receptor 4, TRAIL-R1, TRAIL, apoptosis, and programmed cell death.

Supports DNA synthesis and one-carbon metabolism, including the pathway that processes homocysteine. Also called: Vitamin B9 (Folate), Folate, B9, folic acid, methylfolate, 5-MTHF, folinic acid, foods high in folate Different folate forms, …

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 …

ESR1 encodes estrogen receptor alpha, which helps cells respond to estrogen. Receptor signaling is different from the amount of estrogen measured in blood.

FOLR1 encodes folate receptor alpha, which helps cells take up folate and has an important role in folate transport at the brain’s barriers. Blood folate and folate availability in the nervous system are not identical measurements.

MAOB encodes monoamine oxidase B, an enzyme involved in breaking down monoamine compounds, including dopamine. It does not simply build dopamine, and a DNA marker is not a neurotransmitter measurement.

CCL2 encodes MCP-1, a chemokine that attracts monocytes toward sites of immune activity. Recruitment is a different task from the cytokines that activate those cells once they arrive.

PURSER WELLNESSUsing the NCC Formula From the reading room

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
