Free Radical Activity Evaluation:
The Revelar test is a simple breath test that is performed in our office to determine your free radical score. Free radicals are responsible for creating oxidative stress, and are a good way to measure your risk for chronic degenerative disease and premature aging.
Many factors affect free radical acitivity, including:
- Lack of sleep
- Dehydration
- Excessive psychological stress
- Exposure to cigarette smoke
- Exposure to chemical toxins
- Poor diet
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Recreational drug use
- Certain medications
- Lack of exercise
- Too much exercise
- Exposure to environmental toxins, pesticides, and/or pollution
- Pre-existing disease states
- Supplements containing iron or copper
- Heavy metal toxicity (lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, etc.)
Individual Free Radical Test Results and antioxidant requirements may vary. Adjust antioxidant intake according to test results. Revelar scores range from 0 – 1000. Highest scores present the greatest risk.
