PURSER WELLNESSGlutathione and Your Ability To Detox?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Your body’s ability to detox depends on one critical pathway—turning homocysteine into glutathione. But for millions with MTHFR or other genetic SNPs, this process is broken, leaving them vulnerable to toxins, inflammation, and cytokine storms. That’s why VARS Glutathione is such a breakthrough: it’s reduced, functional, and proven to lower harmful cytokines like IL-8 and MCP-1, giving your body the detox power it needs. After 15 years of research and real patient results, it’s the only oral glutathione that actually works where it matters—inside your cells.

Supports DNA synthesis and one-carbon metabolism, including the pathway that processes homocysteine.

BHMT is the gene symbol used for Betaine-Homocysteine S-Methyltransferase. This page connects its terminology with the topics in the Purser Wellness teaching library.
