    Oxidative Stress 2.0 is a nutritional test used to evaluate the body's oxidative stress status. Normal human metabolism produces highly reactive molecules known as free radicals, typically controlled by antioxidants. When production of free radicals becomes excessive, the antioxidant mechanisms of the cell become overwhelmed, resulting in oxidative damage. The Oxidative Stress 2.0 (Urine) uses a simple urine test to evaluate two key biomarkers of oxidative stress damage. Oxidative Stress 2.0 assess equilibrium between oxidative damage and antioxidant reserve, it is necessary to address the reserve capacity that provides protection; the enzymes that quench the free radicals; and evaluate the damage that free radical production has already caused. A urine sample to measure free radical damage, including lipid peroxides (oxidative damage to cell membranes) and 8-hydroxy-deoxyGuanosine (oxidative damage to DNA).
