What are the symptoms of low MDA (Malondialdehyde)?

Low is optimal, Indicates minimal membrane oxidation, Good antioxidant status

What is the optimal range for MDA (Malondialdehyde)?

The optimal range for MDA (Malondialdehyde) is 0.5-1.5 µmol/L.

What causes high MDA (Malondialdehyde)?

Cell membrane damage, Accelerated aging, Cardiovascular disease progression, Neurodegenerative disease risk, Chronic inflammation, May indicate poor dietary fat quality

Normal Range:0.5-3 µmol/L

Optimal Range:0.5-1.5 µmol/L

What is MDA (Malondialdehyde)?

Malondialdehyde is a toxic aldehyde produced when polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes undergo lipid peroxidation (oxidative damage to fats). It's one of the most commonly used markers of oxidative stress.

Why MDA (Malondialdehyde) Matters

MDA reflects damage to cell membranes throughout your body. Elevated levels indicate active lipid peroxidation, which contributes to atherosclerosis, neurodegeneration, and aging. MDA can also damage proteins and DNA, amplifying oxidative damage cascades.
