How can free radical damage be measured?
The most common testing for free radical damage has been carried out in laboratories with blood or urine samples. While accurate, such tests are costly and invasive. Pulse Health uses breathalyzer technology to make rapid, precise and noninvasive testing of free radical damage possible. Equipped with specialized patented breath tubes, REVELAR reads the concentration of aldehydes in the breath and provides an accurate free radical score in less than one minute. Greater concentrations of aldehydes – a byproduct of oxidative stress – may indicate higher oxidative stress and thus higher risk for early aging or certain diseases. Healthcare professionals may then use the free radical score to guide patients in lowering their free radicals and improving their health.
