Free Radical Test Kit NEW

Monitor your damaging free radical activity and need for Antioxidants



There are many ways to test for free radical activity in the body. These include "dry blood" or oxidative tests, serum and urine tests. The key role in these tests is essentially to determine whether there are sufficient antioxidants in the body to counteract excessive free radical activity.

Serum or blood tests are usually invasive procedures and may also be expensive. It involves analyzing blood and dried blood. These tests determine if blood from an individual is affected by free radical activity. One example is to find out if blood allowed to dry was disconnected. Please see images below :

first image is an example of healthy dried blood
second image is an example of unhealthy dried blood where excessive free radical activity has taken place


The first image shows the healthy dried blood of an individual where there is no oxidative stress and the blood is well connected. It suggests that the individual has sufficient antioxidants to counteract oxidative stress. The second image shows the sample of dried blood where excessive free radical activity has occurred to cause disconnection. There were lots of "holes" or "pores" in the dried blood. However, that only measures MDA which is free radical activity from lipid peroxidation. The new Free Radical test measures total aldehydes, aldehydes produced from smoking, alcohol consumption and also lipid peroxidation. This is a more complete free radical test.

The new Free Radical kits uses urine test to measure total aldehydes or total free radical activity. It is more accurate (50x) than blood tests the results are often a lot quicker. Usually it is cheaper, non-invasive and can be done at the person's leisure and in the comfort and privacy of his or her home.
