AntiOxidantCheck uses a urine sample to evaluate antioxidant reserves. Low antioxidant levels can indicate the increase of free radical activity. Free radicals are unstable cells that may affect aging and the cardiovascular, neurological, and immune systems. Free radicals produce lipid peroxides that can be measured to indicate antioxidant levels. High lipid peroxide levels indicate increased free radical activity, which can indicate a lower antioxidant reserve necessary to counteract free radical activity.

The AntiOxidantCheck

Antioxidants are essential to your body's defense against free radicals. Free radicals can attack the cells of your body, affecting the cardiovascular, neurological, and immune systems. Monitor free radical activity with AntiOxidantCheck, as you strive to strengthen your antioxidant levels.
