The Antioxidant Status test measures the overall capacity of your body to fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, proteins, and DNA. A balance between antioxidants and free radicals is essential for maintaining health, and this test assesses how well your body is coping with oxidative challenges.
This test is often recommended for:
Individuals concerned about ageing or oxidative stress-related conditions
People with a family history of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer
Patients undergoing treatment that may increase oxidative stress, such as chemotherapy
Those looking to optimise nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies
Signs of oxidative stress or imbalance in antioxidant status may include:
Persistent fatigue or low energy levels
Frequent illness or slow recovery from infections
Premature ageing or skin changes
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol, or high oxidative dietary intake
The test requires a blood sample collected by a trained healthcare professional. The sample is sent to an accredited laboratory, where the total antioxidant capacity of your blood is measured and analysed.
Your appointment involves a standard blood draw, which is quick, safe, and minimally invasive. A trained professional will perform the procedure, usually taking only a few minutes.
Once analysed, results are typically available within a few days. Your report will indicate your antioxidant status and provide information that can guide dietary, lifestyle, or medical interventions.
This is a routine blood test and is very safe. Most people experience only mild discomfort during the blood draw.
Minor bruising or tenderness may occur at the needle site, but serious complications are extremely rare.
