What is ORAC Rating or ORAC Value?
Trying to measure the value of your antioxidants? Check the ORAC Value of your favorites. ORAC stands for "oxygen radical absorbance capacity." The higher the ORAC value, the greater the antioxidant capability. Berries have some of the highest ORAC values.
Berries, like blueberries and strawberries, are rich in antioxidants. Eating these fruits is recommended, even on low-carb diets. But did you know that you might be missing two of the best antioxidant berry sources around?
Mangosteen has been used in Southeast Asia, where it is called "the queen of fruits." It is one of the most powerful anti-oxidants available, because of its combination of a high ORAC value (1600 units) and the phytonutrients called Xanthones, that have powerful antioxidant properties. Xanthones also support and enhance the body's immune system so you can always feel your best no matter what health concerns you have today or what may come your way tomorrow.
If you want the biggest ORAC payoff, you may want to try Goji. Goji has over 25,000 ORAC units!! (Compare that with 2400 in blueberries.) Also known as wolfberry this plant is indigenous to Asia. Goji has been used for centuries for strength-building and longevity. The amazing Goji berry contains 18 life-supporting amino acids, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, Vitamin B-2, Beta carotene, Lycopene and much more to give you the energy you need to keep going strong all day long.
