Your genetic results might list “wild type,” “heterozygous,” or “homozygous,” but what does that mean? Wild type means both copies of your gene are normal, heterozygous means one is normal and one has a change, and homozygous means both copies have the same change. With genes like MTHFR, these variations can affect how efficiently your body processes nutrients like folate—sometimes cutting function by 40–70%—which is why targeted nutrition and testing matter.
Many skincare and supplement companies throw around the word “glutathione,” but most of their products don’t actually deliver meaningful amounts—or the right form. For example, a popular serum claims anywhere from 50,000 ppm to just 500 ppm glutathione, which would equal almost nothing per bottle. On top of that, most products use oxidized glutathione, which doesn’t work in the body. That’s what makes VARS Glutathione different—it stays in its reduced, functional form all the way until your cells use it, giving you a real therapeutic dose that actually works.
Scurvy, no one should have it in these modern ages, but I see these patients again and again. Thiamine Deficiency is another that NO ONE knows to look at, but it’s there. Remember, these are INTRACELLULAR deficiencies, not just blood serum levels. You have to Dig Deep to get the root of the issue.
Dr. Purser talks about a meta-analysis where correlations are drawn between Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and B12 folate deficiencies. However, it is unclear how each are directly related. PubMed Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28406440/ Contact us at (801) 796-7667 or info@danpursermd.com for help.

Do you have problems with depression but most antidepressants made it worse? Are you fatigued all the time despite stimulants and amphetamines doctors readily prescribe? Do regular vitamins give you a stomach aches and nausea? The newest book from best-selling (ten #1 books on Amazon) author Dan Purser MD addresses these issues.

Glutathione is a powerful ingredient, but not all products contain meaningful or functional amounts. I recently looked into a popular glutathione serum and found unclear claims ranging from 50,000 ppm to 500 ppm—an enormous difference. In r

Yes—your genetics can directly cause vitamin deficiencies. Certain SNPs lower your body’s ability to process or make key nutrients, like MTHFR reducing folate use, PEMT lowering phosphatidylcholine production for gut and liver health, and SOD decreasing antioxidant defenses against free radicals. These deficiencies drive inflammation, fatigue, and chronic illness, but with the right genetic and intracellular testing, you can target them and supplement with the exact forms your body needs

Thyroid health remains essential during menopause. Optimal labs should show FT3 around 4.0 and FT4 near 1.5, and testing through Direct Labs makes it easy to track. Supporting with supplements like Thyromin can help, but only if guided by accurate lab results.

MTHFR is one of the most studied genetic SNPs, with the two main variants being C677T and A1298C. These changes reduce the body’s ability to process folate and make energy, leaving people exhausted and deficient in key nutrients. Specialize
