Ordering the Oxidative Stress 2.0, Urine | Europe
Oxidative stress happens when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body, which can lead to cell and tissue damage. This test measures markers in urine that show how much oxidative damage is happening, helping to spot early signs of cell stress before symptoms appear. Interestingly, research shows that high levels of oxidative stress markers can be linked to faster aging and may affect how well the body repairs DNA.
Ordering this test can help you:
- Check for early signs of cell damage from free radicals
- See if your antioxidant support is working
- Track changes in oxidative balance over time
- Find out if your body is under more stress than usual
- Monitor how well your body is detoxifying harmful substances
Who Should Consider Oxidative Balance and Free Radical Testing
People who feel tired often, have trouble with memory, or notice changes in their skin or energy may benefit from this test. For example, someone who feels worn out after mild activity and wants to know if cell stress is playing a role could use this test to get clear answers.
Ordering this test may also be helpful if you:
- Have a family history of heart or brain conditions
- Are starting a new antioxidant supplement plan
- Have ongoing inflammation or joint discomfort
- Are recovering from long-term exposure to pollution or toxins
- Notice slow healing of minor cuts or bruises, which can be linked to oxidative stress
Testing for these markers gives you real numbers to track cell damage and antioxidant levels, so you can make changes that may help with energy, memory, and skin. Waiting to order this test could mean missing early signs of cell stress, making it harder to address problems before they get worse. Take the next step to check your oxidative balance today.
Preparing for Urine-Based Antioxidant and Cell Damage Testing
Fasting is not needed for this urine test, but it’s best to collect your sample as directed in the kit instructions. Always follow any directions your doctor or healthcare provider gives you to make sure your sample is collected the right way.
Labs Included When Ordering Your Oxidative Stress 2.0, Urine
| Test Name | Reference Range | What This Marker Means | Low and High Levels of Oxidative Stress 2.0, Urine |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8-OHdG | 2.9 – 8.1 | 8-OHdG is a marker that shows if DNA in your cells is being damaged by free radicals. High levels can mean your body is under more oxidative stress, which may affect how well your cells repair themselves. |
High levels mean your DNA may be getting damaged faster, which can be linked to aging and some chronic conditions.
Low levels mean there is less DNA damage from oxidative stress, which is usually a good sign. |
| Lipid Peroxides, Urine | 0.0 – 1.5 | Lipid peroxides show if fats in your body are being damaged by free radicals. This marker helps track if your cell membranes are staying healthy or if they are breaking down from oxidative stress. |
High levels mean your body’s fats are being damaged, which can affect cell function and may be linked to inflammation.
Low levels mean there is less fat damage, which suggests your antioxidant defenses are working well. |
Reference ranges may change slightly as labs update their methods and research.
