This single-marker blood test measures your body's total antioxidant capacity, an indicator of how well you may be coping with oxidative stress. It suits people who want a general wellness marker rather than a full nutrient or vitamin breakdown.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
The Antioxidant Status test measures your body's total antioxidant capacity from a single blood sample, giving a general picture of how well you may be coping with oxidative stress from free radicals. It only reports this one measure, so it does not break results down by individual vitamins, minerals or specific antioxidant compounds.
With one biomarker, it sits in the lower band for clinical depth among vitamin and mineral tests we track, around the 31st percentile. At £295, it is priced well above the £85 median for similarly sized vitamin tests, about 247% higher, which is the main reason it scores poorly on value even though the listing clearly states the sample type, collection options and turnaround.
Collection is a venous blood draw at a clinic, with a home nurse visit also offered, and results take around a week. Trust signals reflect Better2Know's Trustpilot score of 4.2 from 775 reviews, its CQC registration and more than 18 years trading, though results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, which weighs on the results and follow-up score.
This test could suit you if you want a quick, general marker of oxidative stress rather than a detailed vitamin or mineral panel, for example alongside lifestyle changes such as diet or supplement use. Because it only measures one marker and does not include a doctor review, it may be less suited if you want a broader nutritional picture or want a clinician to interpret the result for you.
You give a venous blood sample, taken by a trained healthcare professional at a clinic or during a home nurse visit. The sample is sent to a laboratory the provider describes as accredited, where your total antioxidant capacity is measured. The provider states results are available within around 7 days, and results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
