At WellConsulted in Brookfield, WI, we offer the Meta Oxy Cellular Inflammation Test Kit, a convenient at-home urinalysis designed to provide valuable insights into your cellular health. This simple test measures malondialdehyde (MDA), a key biomarker indicating cellular damage and systemic inflammation, factors closely linked to overall wellness. Understanding these levels can be a crucial step in proactively managing your health.
The Meta-Oxy Test, available at WellConsulted in Brookfield, WI, is an easy-to-use at-home urine test developed by Systemic Formulas. Its purpose is to measure the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) present in your urine.
MDA is a well-recognized biomarker that indicates the degree of cellular damage occurring due to oxidative stress. This process, known as lipid peroxidation, happens when harmful free radicals damage the fatty structures of your cell membranes.
Because this type of cellular damage can contribute to systemic inflammation and is often linked to the development of various chronic diseases, understanding your MDA levels can be an important step in assessing your overall health and well-being.
Cellular inflammation is essentially damage occurring at the microscopic level within your body’s cells. While acute inflammation is a normal and necessary response to injury or infection, chronic, low-grade cellular inflammation can be a silent and insidious process.
It arises when an imbalance occurs between damaging free radicals and the body’s antioxidant defenses, leading to oxidative stress. This stress can harm vital cell structures, including their membranes.
Over time, this ongoing cellular damage contributes to systemic inflammation, which has been increasingly linked to the development of various chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and obesity.
Therefore, understanding and monitoring cellular inflammation can provide valuable insights into your long-term health risks.
The Meta Oxy Test is a simple at-home urine test. You collect a sample and send it in for analysis. The lab measures the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) present in your urine.
Since MDA is a byproduct of cellular damage caused by oxidative stress, the levels detected directly reflect the degree of cellular inflammation occurring in your body.
