HealthOX
Oxidative stress testing for preventive and personalized care
What is HealthOX?
Cellular stress measurement
HealthOX is Life Length’s oxidative-stress test.
It quantifies the balance between reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) and antioxidant capacity (UCARR) in blood to determine the patient’s oxidative-stress level.
Results are reported in severity bands, providing a clear baseline and targets to reduce risk.

About oxidative stress
How do oxidative stress levels affect aging and health?
What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is the imbalance where ROS/RNS exceed antioxidant defenses.
It rises with aging and metabolic disease as mitochondrial respiration deteriorates, damaging lipids, proteins, mitochondria and DNA.
Oxidative damage shortens telomeres and promotes cellular senescence.
Free radicals
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules generated endogenously by metabolism and exogenously by UV/ionizing radiation, smoke and pollution.
They are amplified by sedentary behavior and obesity, low-antioxidant diets, environmental contaminants, tobacco, excess sun or drugs or viral infections among others.
Measure & counteract
Lowering oxidative stress also reduces free-radical burden at the source.
A balanced, antioxidant-rich diet, physician guided supplementation, regular exercise, stress management and tracking oxidative stress over time, clinicians can verify that free-radical levels, optimize interventions, and sustain long-term health gains.
Know your levels
Uncover the impact of oxidative stress on your health.
With HealthOX you receive your oxidative stress levels according to reference ranges.
The report interprets what this means for your aging and disease risk.
Free radicals measured
* 1 UCARR (Carratelli Units) = 0,08 mg H₂O₂ /dL
Free radicals measured
Your value (UCARR) reflects the concentration of reactive oxygen metabolites in blood.
Higher numbers = higher oxidative stress.
| ROM (UCARR) | OXIDATIVE STRESS (severity) |
|---|---|
| 250 – 300 | Normal range |
| 301 – 320 | Limit |
| 321 – 340 | Low oxidative stress levels |
| 341 – 400 | Medium oxidative stress levels |
| 401 – 500 | High oxidative stress levels |
| > 500 | Very high oxidative stress levels |
Reference ranges (ROM)
ROM/UCARR is converted into severity bands. The category indicates how your oxidant load compares with clinical reference values and sets targets for reduction.
