Oxidative Stress Markers
Measure cellular damage and antioxidant defenses
$200–$400
10–14 business days
Oxidative stress testing measures markers of free radical damage (lipid peroxides, DNA damage, protein oxidation) and your body's antioxidant defense capacity (glutathione, SOD, catalase) — revealing the balance between cellular damage and repair.
Oxidative stress is the final common pathway in aging, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. When free radicals overwhelm your antioxidant defenses, you accumulate cellular damage that drives chronic disease and accelerated aging.
What It Measures
8-OHdG (DNA oxidative damage marker)
Lipid peroxides (cell membrane damage)
Glutathione (total, reduced, oxidized, ratio)
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity
Catalase activity
CoQ10 levels
Vitamin C and E levels
Why Gabriel Recommends It
Oxidative stress is invisible on standard bloodwork but drives nearly every chronic disease. A patient with low glutathione and high lipid peroxides is aging faster and at higher risk for neurodegeneration and cancer — regardless of their cholesterol or blood sugar. Gabriel uses oxidative stress markers to guide targeted antioxidant protocols: NAC and glutathione for low glutathione, CoQ10 for mitochondrial support, vitamin C for acute oxidative damage — personalized cellular protection.
What to Expect
A blood or urine sample depending on the specific markers tested. Some panels require fasting. Ship samples in prepaid envelopes for urine tests; blood draws at local labs. Results arrive in 10–14 business days with oxidative damage and antioxidant capacity analysis. Upload to Gabriel for antioxidant optimization protocols.
How Gabriel Interprets This
Conventional practitioners read these results through a disease-focused lens — looking for what's broken. Gabriel reads them through a holistic lens — looking for what's out of balance and how to restore it. We see optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. We connect findings across all your diagnostics to reveal patterns that siloed specialists miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals (reactive oxygen species) exceed your body's antioxidant defenses. This damages DNA, proteins, and cell membranes, accelerating aging and contributing to cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, cancer, and chronic inflammation.
Common markers include 8-OHdG (DNA damage), F2-isoprostanes (lipid peroxidation), glutathione (GSH/GSSG ratio), superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipid peroxides, and CoQ10 levels. Together, they reveal both the amount of oxidative damage and your antioxidant capacity.
Anyone with chronic illness, accelerated aging, environmental toxin exposure, intense athletic training, or chronic inflammation. It's also useful as a baseline for longevity optimization, since oxidative stress is one of the primary drivers of biological aging.
Individual markers cost $30-75 each. Comprehensive oxidative stress panels run $200-400. Glutathione testing alone is $50-100 and arguably the single most useful oxidative stress marker.
