What is Antioxidant's Capacity Total?

This blood test measures the total antioxidant capacity of your body, indicating its ability to neutralize harmful free radicals. Antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting cells from damage and maintaining overall health.

Why is this test important?

A reduced total antioxidant capacity can be linked to increased oxidative stress, which is implicated in various chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. This test helps assess your body's defense against oxidative damage.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required. Please consult your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
