An immediate result from this test will determine the degree of oxidative stress in the body, which is a direct sign of accelerated aging and cellular damage. Using this test allows your practitioner to monitor the effectiveness of antioxidant treatments in reducing your production of free radicals that breakdown and destroys cells.

To understand why this test is so important you first have to understand why free radicals in excess can be so harmful. Free radicals are organic molecules responsible for aging, tissue damage, and some diseases, including contributing to cancer. Free radical molecules are very unstable, therefore they look to bond with other molecules, in doing so they destroy cells vitality and healthy biological functions. Antioxidants, present in many foods, are molecules that prevent free radicals from harming healthy tissue and are used in many treatment regimes to prevent and treat disease. Stress, environmental pollutants, smoking, and an unbalanced diet all increase the load of free radicals in the body. If you want an accurate and scientifically valid way of detecting the levels of free radical damage in your body then this test is for you.
