Most people have never heard of homocysteine, yet this small molecule may hold the key to understanding inflammation, cardiovascular disease, neurological problems, and many chronic conditions.
For decades, homocysteine was viewed as a toxic substance in the blood. Doctors were taught that lowering it with B-vitamins might reduce heart disease risk. But research results were inconsistent, leaving many physicians unsure whether homocysteine truly mattered.
New research and clinical observations are changing that view.
We introduce a new framework called the Purser Model, which explains why homo
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.
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.
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).
