Cellular Protection Against Oxidative Stress (NRF2)

Product detailed description

The NRF2 genetic test identifies inherited variants in the NFE2L2 gene, which plays an important role in the body's natural defense against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them. It can contribute to cellular damage, accelerate aging processes, and play a role in the development of certain diseases.

The NRF2 gene regulates antioxidant defense mechanisms and activates protective enzymes that help cells respond to oxidative damage. These natural processes are essential for maintaining cellular health and protecting the body against harmful environmental influences.

Genetic testing of NRF2 variants may provide insights into inherited factors associated with antioxidant defense and cellular responses to oxidative stress. However, these protective mechanisms are also influenced by lifestyle, environmental exposures, and overall health.

What does the test detect?

• The presence of selected genetic variants in the NFE2L2 (NRF2) gene.

• Genetic predispositions related to antioxidant defense mechanisms.

• Genetic factors that may influence cellular responses to oxidative stress.

The NRF2 genetic test does not measure current oxidative stress levels or independently determine the risk of developing a specific disease. Its results provide additional information about individual genetic characteristics.
