What’s searchable?High homocysteine? It’s not the number—it’s the cytokines it triggers (like IL-8) that cause strokes, kidney failure & inflammation. We found 17 gene SNPs + 12 vitamin deficiencies that drive it—and VARS Glutathione helps shut it down.
Searchable captionsRead matching passageBCO1, 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.
BHMT helps recycle homocysteine into methionine using betaine. It is a different route from the folate and B12 pathway.
Helps maintain the activity of methionine synthase, connecting B12-related chemistry with homocysteine metabolism.
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.
VKORC1 encodes vitamin K epoxide reductase, part of the vitamin K recycling system used in activating clotting proteins. It is not simply a vitamin K receptor.
Follow Dr. Purser’s teaching on folate, B12, sulfur pathways and antioxidant support around homocysteine.
ALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme important to bone and tooth mineralization and vitamin B6 metabolism. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase can deserve a different evaluation from a general nutrient deficiency.
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.
