Oxidative Stress Indexing

Meaning

Oxidative Stress Indexing is a clinical and diagnostic methodology involving the precise measurement of specific, validated biomarkers in either blood or urine to quantitatively assess the degree of systemic imbalance between the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s intrinsic, endogenous antioxidant defense capacity. This index provides an objective, actionable measure of cellular damage and the overall systemic inflammatory burden, which are both recognized as key, modifiable drivers of age-related disease and hormonal decline. A consistently high index indicates significant, measurable cellular vulnerability and need for intervention.
