Predict – Prevent – Protect Your Artery Health with Oxidized LDL Testing

Why Test for Oxidized LDL?

Oxidized LDL is a crucial marker for arterial health. While cholesterol itself doesn’t harm your arteries, when its transport vehicle—the lipoprotein—becomes oxidized due to low antioxidant levels, it can damage the arterial walls. By measuring your oxidized LDL levels, you can predict future health risks to your arteries and take preventive action.

How Oxidized LDL Affects Your Arteries:

  • Oxidized LDL leads to arterial damage.
  • Vitamin E, C, B vitamins, and magnesium can help prevent this oxidation.
  • Cholesterol is essential for your body, but when the transporters (lipoproteins) oxidize, they harm the artery cells.

What We Test

Our Oxidized LDL test measures the amount of oxidized cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins in your blood. This gives insight into your risk for cardiovascular diseases and allows for targeted nutritional and lifestyle changes to protect your arteries.

Nutritional Support for Arterial Health:

  • Increase antioxidant intake (Vitamins E, C, B-complex)
  • Improve your magnesium levels
  • Focus on a diet rich in cell energy-producing foods
