DRP Genetics Testing Update

In the description

The new DRP Genetics test, designed by Dr. Purser in collaboration with MaxGen, makes genetic testing simple and precise. Each kit comes pre-filled with everything you need—just swab your cheek, place it in the vial, and send it back the same day using the prepaid mailer. This curated panel focuses on key SNPs Dr. Purser selected after years of research, giving patients clearer answers and actionable insights into their health.

🧬 What’s more powerful than glutathione or vitamin C?

In the description

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.

Homocysteine is the Secret Assasin

In the description

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.

Remove inflammation by combatting High Homocysteine

In the description

High homocysteine levels can lead to inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and even shifting pain throughout the body. It’s also linked to birth defects and chronic kidney failure, and can raise blood pressure. Six genetic SNPs (like MTR, MTRR, and CBS) and MTHFR mutations (like C677T) can prevent homocysteine from converting into glutathione, which is essential for keeping inflammation in check. Plus, 12 vitamin deficiencies may temporarily raise homocysteine levels, so addressing these deficiencies is key.
