What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing chronic fatigue, unexplained inflammation, or concerns about oxidative stress from lifestyle factors like poor diet, pollution, or intense exercise. It measures cellular damage caused by oxidative stress, which can affect your energy levels, recovery, and long-term health. Many people use this test when they suspect their body is under significant stress but want objective data to guide their wellness decisions.

How should I prepare for this test?

This is a urine test, so preparation is typically minimal. Avoid taking high-dose antioxidant supplements or anti-inflammatory medications for 24-48 hours before testing if possible, as they may affect results. Stay well-hydrated and collect your sample according to the provided instructions, usually a first-morning urine sample for the most accurate reading.

What's included in this test?

This test measures the F2-Isoprostane to Creatinine ratio in your urine, which is a reliable marker of oxidative stress and cellular damage throughout your body. F2-Isoprostanes are compounds produced when your cells are damaged by free radicals, and comparing them to creatinine levels provides an accurate assessment of how much oxidative stress your body is experiencing. This measurement helps identify whether inflammation, poor nutrition, environmental toxins, or chronic stress are causing cellular damage that could affect your energy, recovery, and long-term health.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your oxidative stress levels mean for your cellular health and overall wellness. These notes include personalized recommendations like antioxidant-rich foods, lifestyle modifications to reduce stress, or supplement suggestions to support your body's defense systems. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are reducing oxidative damage.
When will I get my results?
Results for this test are typically available within 5-7 business days after your sample reaches the lab. You'll be notified by email as soon as your results are ready, and you can access them through your secure online account along with your personalized doctor notes and actionable recommendations.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is valuable for athletes monitoring recovery and training stress, people with chronic inflammatory conditions, anyone exposed to environmental toxins or pollution, and individuals following antioxidant-rich diets who want to measure effectiveness. It's also helpful for people experiencing unexplained fatigue, cognitive issues, or those concerned about aging and cellular health.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Consider this test if you're experiencing persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, slow recovery from exercise or illness, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, or frequent inflammation. Other signs include premature aging concerns, living in high-pollution areas, chronic stress, or following intense training programs that may be causing excessive cellular stress.
How can I naturally reduce oxidative stress?
Focus on eating colorful fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants like berries, leafy greens, and tomatoes. Include omega-3 fatty acids from fish or flaxseeds, and consider green tea for its powerful antioxidant properties. Regular moderate exercise, adequate sleep, stress management through meditation or yoga, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol all help reduce oxidative damage.
What is oxidative stress and why does it matter?
Oxidative stress happens when your body has too many free radicals (unstable molecules) and not enough antioxidants to neutralize them, leading to cellular damage. This process is linked to inflammation, premature aging, fatigue, and increased risk of chronic diseases. Measuring oxidative stress helps you understand if your lifestyle, diet, or environment is causing excessive cellular damage that you can address through targeted interventions.
How often should I retest my oxidative stress levels?
If you're making lifestyle changes or taking antioxidant supplements, retest every 3-6 months to see if your interventions are working. For athletes monitoring training load, testing every 2-3 months during intense training periods can help prevent overtraining. Once your levels are optimized, annual testing is sufficient for general wellness monitoring unless symptoms return.

What this means

Your F2-Isoprostane levels are elevated, indicating higher than optimal oxidative stress in your body. This suggests your cells are experiencing damage from free radicals, which may be contributing to fatigue, inflammation, or slower recovery. Elevated levels can result from poor diet, environmental toxins, chronic stress, or intense exercise without adequate recovery.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
