PURSER WELLNESSHow To Know If You Have High Homocysteine?A conversation with Dr. Purser

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

High homocysteine? It’s not the number—it’s the cytokines it triggers (like IL-8) that cause strokes, kidney failure & inflammation. We found 17 gene SNPs + 12 vitamin deficiencies that drive it—and VARS Glutathione helps shut it down.

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.

If you’ve got genetically high homocysteine, lowering it isn’t as simple as you think. But there’s a way to reduce the inflammation it causes!

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.
