ImageQuestion:What is an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value and does it apply to the SuperFoodsRx Nutritional Supplement?

Answer: Thank you for your inquiry.  ORAC is a measurement of a food’s antioxidant capacity, or its ability to neutralize dangerous free radical molecules in your body.  ORAC values are typically applied to foods, like blueberries, pomegranate, green tea and other antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.  These are the types of whole foods you will find in abundance in Superfoods Rx.  And while Superfoods Rx does not have its own established ORAC value, the high-ORAC food concentrates found in the formula ensure you are adding to your daily ORAC intake.

The antioxidants found in whole foods have been linked with protection against almost every major modern disease.  Unfortunately, most people are not getting nearly enough of these antioxidants in their diet.  The answer is a supplement like Superfoods Rx that provides the full spectrum of antioxidants found in the world’s healthiest foods.
