Chemiluminescence and ROS measurement
How light-based assays estimate reactive oxygen species in labs — and why kit readouts are not home longevity diagnostics.
Clinical education. Mechanism and limits first.
Chemiluminescence methods can report ROS-related signals under controlled conditions with many artifacts. They are research tools, not consumer “oxidative stress scores” for buying capsules. Redox biology is nuanced; antioxidants are not automatically better at high dose. Quality · Science.
Home ROS test?
Be skeptical of unvalidated consumer kits.
