Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are one of the most abundant types of free radicals.
In physiological conditions ROS levels are regulated by a fine equilibrium, namely RedOx balance.
Intense physical activities and nutrition can increase ROS levels that may have negative effects, depending on training load and diet habits.
Overtraining and unbalanced diet contributes to reduce the individual’s ability to counteract ROS deleterious effects through their antioxidant defence system (AD).
Scientific researches reveal how altered AD in saliva may reflect systemic alterations, underlying non-physiological conditions.
Increased awareness on lifestyle and diet habits are pushing professionals to provide new and accessible services to their customers.
The monitoring of the antioxidant power of saliva may provide professionals with additional information about how the subject’s training and lifestyle are affecting their well-being.
To check redox balance to improve people’s condition of well-being and performances.
Recent scientific researches highlight how altered antioxidant levels in saliva reflect altered systemic features that are associated with people’s well-being status.
The Antioxidant Check-up starts with the analysis of the antioxidant potential of saliva by means of the deviceless Antioxidant test, which can be easily performed in less than 2 minutes, providing with the semi-quantitative analysis of the antioxidant power of saliva.
The results are based on a three-levels scale: High, Normal and Low, respectively for high, normal and low antioxidants levels into the saliva.
Antioxidant Manager is a webbased application that supports professionals in monitoring how the subject’s training and lifestyle are affecting their well-being.
Antioxidant Manager combines the results of the Antioxidant Test and of the Antioxidant Questionnaire, considering situations related to the RedOx balance, and it generates the Antioxidant Report with indications on the actions that have to be taken to maintain or improve their well-being.
The Antioxidant Check-up can be performed from time to time, following a longitudinal approach.
The comparison of different Antioxidant Check-up results performed at different time-points can provide the seniors with a better picture of the effectiveness of an antioxidant treatment, for example, unveiling if the pursued strategy is actively bringing to the desired results or not.
The Antioxidant Check-up allows you to adequately intervene and the provided advices can help you in reaching the final goal: to preserve your well-being status and slowing down the problems caused by advancing years.
