Your genetic results might list “wild type,” “heterozygous,” or “homozygous,” but what does that mean? Wild type means both copies of your gene are normal, heterozygous means one is normal and one has a change, and homozygous means both copies have the same change. With genes like MTHFR, these variations can affect how efficiently your body processes nutrients like folate—sometimes cutting function by 40–70%—which is why targeted nutrition and testing matter.
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.
While CT scans are sometimes necessary, the radiation exposure they create can cause oxidative damage in the body. That’s why antioxidants like glutathione are so important—when taken in a validated, reduced form, they help detox and protect against the harmful effects of scans, heavy metals, and chemicals like gadolinium. Dr. Purser’s VARS Glutathione and Nayan Patel’s topical Glutaryl formulas are the only patented, validated glutathiones proven to actually work at this level, helping patients recover quickly from oxidative stress.
Many skincare and supplement companies throw around the word “glutathione,” but most of their products don’t actually deliver meaningful amounts—or the right form. For example, a popular serum claims anywhere from 50,000 ppm to just 500 ppm glutathione, which would equal almost nothing per bottle. On top of that, most products use oxidized glutathione, which doesn’t work in the body. That’s what makes VARS Glutathione different—it stays in its reduced, functional form all the way until your cells use it, giving you a real therapeutic dose that actually works.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD)—your body’s first line of defense against DNA-damaging free radicals. SOD neutralizes superoxide radicals at the source of cellular energy production. But as we age—or if we have genetic SNPs—our ability to make SOD drops. That’s why we created VARS SOD, with over 10,000 IU per dose (most products have less than 240 IU). It’s a game changer for anti-aging, DNA protection, and reducing inflammation at the root.
One of the most powerful nutrients you’ve never heard of? Phosphatidylcholine. It builds the walls of your cells, protects your gut lining, supports nerve function, and even helps your body make bile. If you have a PEMT gene mutation, your body struggles to make it—and that means gut issues, nerve dysfunction, and chronic inflammation.
The real root of fibromyalgia? It’s not just pain — it’s copper. We’ve uncovered that fibromyalgia is often driven by genetic mutations (like CBS, GAD1, GAD2) that affect how your body handles copper. The copper builds up in your blood but never makes it into your cells — leading to widespread pain, inflammation, and migraines.
Homocysteine is nasty — but here’s the truth no one tells you. It doesn’t kill you directly — it triggers white blood cells to release IL-8 and MCP-1, causing inflammation, kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes. Most doctors don’t even check it anymore, thinking there’s no fix. But there is. Whether from 17 genetic SNPs or 12 vitamin deficiencies (like B6 or B12), you can address it by supporting your body’s ability to convert homocysteine into glutathione.
Did you know scurvy is still around today? It might sound like an old pirate disease, but a lack of Vitamin C can still cause fatigue, joint pain, bleeding gums, and slow healing. Without Vitamin C, your body can’t make collagen, which is essential for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues.
Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: The Missing Link? Did you know there’s a genetic condition, PEMT, that may be a major factor in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis? If you have it, your body struggles to produce phosphatidylcholine, a critical compound for gut and liver health. Research shows supplementing with phosphatidylcholine and glutathione can make a huge difference in managing these conditions.
Superoxide Dismutase 3 (SOD 3), also known as extracellular SOD or ubiquitous SOD, plays a critical role in your body’s defense against inflammation and oxidative stress. Here’s why it matters: Stabilizes Mast Cells SOD 3 helps suppress mast cell activation, reducing the release of inflammatory mediators that contribute to conditions like skin inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic pain. Reduces Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines By inhibiting cytokines like TNF-Alpha, SOD 3 can help soothe inflammation at its source. Supports Healthy Joints and Blood Vessels Whether you have joint disc
