Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and the body’s antioxidant defenses, which can’t effectively neutralize these reactive compounds. Excessive oxidation can actively harm critical cellular components such as lipids, DNA, RNA, and proteins, which are the building blocks of the human body.
Vibrant Antioxidant Genetics panel measures 32 genetic variants to personalize your genetic disposition to Antioxidant enzymes.
Why is This Test Important?
The Antioxidant Genetics panel measures 32 common SNPs of oxidative damage to assess your genetic ability to manage oxidative stress, as well as your current stress status.
Oxidative stress poses a threat to longevity as it is implicated in the development of various diseases.
This state of stress can create a detrimental cycle where one condition exacerbates another, leading to further health complications.
By understanding your oxidative stress, your provider can tailor treatment strategies to address potential weaknesses in the oxidative stress system, reduce buildup of ROS, and promote better health and longevity.
With this comprehensive profile, you can better understand your ability to manage oxidative stress and specific antioxidant needs and create personalized wellness plans tailored to your genetics.

This is a salivary (saliva) collection kit that you will collect for at home.
Do not brush your teeth, eat, or drink anything but water for 2-3 hours before each saliva sample collection.
Ship samples back to the lab as soon as possible.
Preparation & Timing
No eating a major meal within 60 minutes of sample collection.
Avoid foods with high sugar or acidity, or high caffeine content, immediately before sample collection
Rinse mouth with water to remove food residue and waiting at least 10 minutes after rinsing to avoid sample dilution before collecting saliva.
Passive drool - allowing saliva to naturally pool in mouth and then spit. Repeat this process to fill required saliva. Do not simulate saliva collection.
Requisition & Payment
Forms Included with your kit:
Requisition form: Confirm your information is correct on this form.
