Description
Antioxidant Genetics Salivary Test
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.
