If you’ve had our Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) with Redox testing, chances are you’ve looked at those two pages of results and thought, “Okay... now what does all this actually mean?” You’re not alone. This is one of the questions I hear most often from patients. Let me walk you through exactly what each page shows, how the test works, and why these results are so powerful for creating a truly personalized plan to help you feel your best.
Dr. Dan Purser literally writes out what glutathione is, why it is important to your body and your cells, and the difference between the useless oxidized version of glutathione (GSSG) and the functional version of glutathione (GSH).

A molecule made from glutamate, cysteine and glycine that participates in cellular redox balance.
This report overview covers skin-barrier symptoms, acantholysis, cytokine networks, and the source’s discussion of redox management.
Dan and Jackson discuss serum testing, intracellular nutrient results, REDOX, and the questions each kind of test addresses.
This report overview covers T follicular helper cells, Th17 cells, IL-21R, JAK/STAT terminology, and the report’s discussion of cellular redox balance.
Discover the power of the VARS Triad (also called the REDOX Triad)—Dr. Dan Purser MD’s groundbreaking, patented antioxidant protocol featuring VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD, and VARS Catalase. In this live session, Dr. Purser breaks down what VARS stands for (Validated, Absorbable, Reduced, Stable), how this physician-designed trio supports your body’s natural redox balance, quiets inflammation and cytokines at the root-cause level, and helps overcome genetic challenges like high homocysteine, oxidative stress, and related chronic issues. Perfect for anyone exploring advanced functional medicine and targeted supplementation.

High homocysteine often shows up first as widespread inflammation—pain all over, poor circulation, or even early warning signs of cardiovascular problems like stroke and heart attack. The best way to know for sure is through testing: a blood test can measure homocysteine directly, while a CMA with Redox uncovers the vitamin deficiencies driving it. For genetic causes, the DRP Genetics panel screens 15–16 of the 17 known SNPs that can cause permanently high homocysteine. If your levels are fixed by genetics, reduced glutathione and targeted B vitamins (like MTHFR Daily) are key to balancing the
Tired, foggy, low hormones, and nothing helps? It’s probably not magic—it’s nutrient deficiency. Dr. Purser uses CMA with Redox testing to go deeper than your average doctor ever will. He sees severe lipoic acid, biotin, PQQ, and lithium deficiencies causing symptoms that mimic dementia, thyroid issues, or low testosterone. It’s not “manopause”—it’s vitaminopause. Find the root cause, don’t just chase prescriptions.
This chapter connects genetic variation with the sulfur pathway that appears throughout Dr. Purser’s redox teaching.
A reading guide to the chapter proposing a role for glutathione and redox modulation in kidney disease.
