Written by Andrea Maxim, Naturopathic Doctor

Every day we are exposed to toxins and elements that cause cellular damage otherwise known as Free Radicals. If the body is not protected against these free radicals, it can cause degenerative diseases like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, arthritis, premature aging and cancer. The main sources of free radicals include heavy metals, stress, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, environmental toxins, etc.  It’s something we cannot avoid, but we can make sure we are protecting ourselves.  We do this with Antioxidants.

Antioxidants are found in abundance in foods like fresh berries and vegetables.  Usually we need to supplement with antioxidants in order to ensure our immune system is protected and our body is clearing cellular debris effectively.

It is a good idea to measure free radical activity often, especially during periods of high stress.  If we can detect excessive free radical activity early, the more likely we are to prevent disease from occuring.

With this simple urine test, we can easily measure your need for antioxidants and help you achieve your health goals that much faster.
