How Does Genetics Affect Antioxidant Capacity? A Complete Guide
Antioxidant capacity is not a single number — it is the combined genetic output of five overlapping enzyme systems, each with its own variant layer. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test maps SOD2, GPX1, GCLC, NFE2L2, FOXO3, and more across 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights, revealing the genetic architecture your antioxidant biology is built on.
What Genes Affect Glutathione Production? Your Genetic Guide
Glutathione synthesis, recycling, and detoxification capacity are all genetically variable — GCLC, GCLM, GSR, GPX1, GSTM1, and NFE2L2 each shape a different step. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test maps these variants across 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights, revealing where your antioxidant production is genetically strongest and where it leaks.
Can I Increase NAD+ Based on My Genetics? What the Evidence Shows
Yes — but how much NAD+ you can raise, through which pathway, and where your biggest genetic leak is all depend on your DNA. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes NAD+ pathway genetics across 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights, revealing whether your rate-limiting step is synthesis, salvage, or overconsumption.
Does FOXO3 Affect How You Age? What the Science Shows
Yes — FOXO3 is one of the most replicated longevity genes in human genetics, and rs2802292 is the variant that explains why. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes FOXO3 alongside 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights, revealing how your transcription factor genetics shapes oxidative stress resistance, DNA repair, and cellular lifespan.
SOD2 and Oxidative Stress: Your Genetic Antioxidant Defense
SOD2 encodes the primary antioxidant enzyme inside your mitochondria — responsible for neutralizing reactive oxygen species at their source. The A16V variant (rs4880) determines how efficiently SOD2 is imported into the mitochondrial matrix. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes SOD2 as part of 17 Longevity & Aging insights spanning 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights.
