New Free Radical Test Kit

About a half year ago, I joined the ANA (aka American Nutraceutical Association). This organization has a wealth of information and resources to help further along ones knowledge in nutrition, health and medicine. The will have a conference in October on "Nutraceuticals and Medicine" which will focus on the role of nutraceuticals, diet and nutrition in disease prevention. This conference will provide continuing medical education credits for physicians, nurses and pharmacists.

The ANA is also now offering a cost-efficient (non-biased) check up kit to score the amount of free radicals in your system. It is non-invasive procedure that's an easy way to help determine the impact of antioxidant nutrition in the body. Yes, urine is involved, but that seems preferable over the drawing of blood.

There have been studies done to show that too much antioxidants from certain supplements can actually cause an oxidative effect, therefore making it a pro-oxidant and causes much more free radical damage to the cells. More on that later.
