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! 👉 Learn more & shop VARS supplements: danpursermd.com #VARSGlutathione #Fibromyalgia #Antioxidants #ChronicInflammation #PurserWellness #Catalase #SOD Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & What Does VARS Mean? 01:45 The Science of the VARS Triad 12:00 Who Needs the Trio? 14:00 Catalase & Workout Recovery Stories 20:00 Genetics, Homocysteine & Testing Follow Dr. Purser!
