ORAC short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity,
is a test tube analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of
foods and other
chemical substances. In 1992, the ORAC test was developed by Dr. Guohua
Cao, a chemist and physician at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore,
Maryland. Early findings suggest that eating plenty of high-ORAC fruits
and vegetables--such as spinach and blueberries--may help slow the processes
associated with aging in both body and brain. According to Suzanne Dixon
(MPH, MS, RD), ORAC is just a fancy way of saying, "How well does
a certain food help my body fight diseases like cancer and heart disease?"
What is ORAC and what does it stand for? ORAC = Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity ORAC is the acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, and it is the measurement of antioxidants in foods. This way, we are able "to see" the radical elimination power of that product or food. According to recent studies, in the diet of an average human being, we are consuming 1000 units ORAC daily, as you can see, we are consuming considerably less ORAC than we should be, consequently leading to degenerative illnesses (cancer, arthritis, loss of the memory, etc.), that are the illnesses that have gone proliferating in the last decades.
Each dose (30 mL/1 oz) of acai berry juice your body will receive a minimum of 3800 units ORAC. A sufficient amount to increase the natural potential of your blood, in the fight against premature aging and cell deterioration produced by free radicals What is a normal ORAC for daily consumption? For the average person they need 1670 ORAC per day. To give this perspective 80% - 90% of people in the world do not consume even half of the daily-required ORAC. What is the level of ORAC in the Acai Fruit? U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) researchers in healthy eating at Tufts University have found that in order to provide meaningful antioxidant health benefits in a nutritional supplement you need at least 2400 to 3000 ORAC, or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, in your daily diet. Acai is a powerful nutrient, which combines in a single product, unique properties and ingredients. There is no other fruit that can be compared with the effectiveness of the Acai. "One of the Top 10 Super-Foods" of the planet, according to Dr. Perricone author of the best seller book; "The Perricone Promise" presented on the Oprah Winfrey show.
