What Are Free Radicals And Why Do We Need Antioxidants?
Oxidation occurs when free radicals (highly reactive, high-energy particles) ricochet wildly throughout the body and damage cells. Free radicals can be produced within the body by natural biological processes or introduced from outside via tobacco smoke, toxins, pollutants and sub-optimal eating habits. Free radicals are believed to accelerate the progression of many diseases. Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables help to neutralise free radicals in our bodies. *1. *2.
What Are ORAC Units And How Many Do We Need?
ORAC, short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is a standardised measurement of the total antioxidant power of a substance. Antioxidant power is the ability to neutralise oxygen free radicals. The more free radicals a substance can absorb, the higher it’s ORAC score. Nutritionists recommend that we consume the 7 servings of fruits and vegetables of per day to significantly impact antioxidant activity in the body and reduce free radical damage.*1. *2.
Seven servings of fruits or vegetables provides approximately 3500 ORAC units. One 3.5g teaspoon serving of Berry Radical contains over 4000 ORAC units! One 105g tub contains 123,375 ORAC units.

Ingredients
| INGREDIENTS | BENEFITS |
|---|---|
| Certified Organic Raw Unrefined Cacao Powder | Grown and harvested ethically and sustainably in Ecuador, raw organic cacao contains the antioxidant polyphenols, catechin, epicatechin and gallic acid. Cacao is believed to be the richest source of magnesium of any common food and many experts believe that even with a healthy diet most people are lacking magnesium. Epicatechin and its metabolites have been singled out as providing cacao’s vasodilation benefits, which help protect against high blood pressure. Cacao provides significant protection to cardiovascular health and has been found to provide more than 21 times with the free radical protection of green tea. |
| Organic Dried Coffee Fruit Extract | Organic whole coffee fruit is loaded with high concentrations of beneficial antioxidants and other extraordinary nutrients including polyphenols, chlorogenic, caffeic and ferulic acid. Coffee fruit is so exceptionally rich in antioxidants because it grows in high altitude, low-latitude regions where the sun’s rays are strongest. As the plants mature, they develop powerful antioxidants to protect them from damage caused by high doses of the sun’s radiation and the natural by-products of photosynthesis. One gram of our raw coffee concentrate provides the same free radical protection as over two kilograms of grapes. |
| Certified Organic Freeze Dried Olive Juice Extract | Powerhouse antioxidant polyphenols are extracted from the pulp of fresh, organically grown olives. Hydroxytyrosol is the natural olive polyphenol with the highest level of free radical protection activity ever reported for any natural antioxidant compound! While the olive has received most attention for its oil, until now the olive water, or juice, has been a mere byproduct of olive production. In fact, disposal of the juice has been costly for the industry. After all, the olive is only 15-20% oil and more than 50% juice. So what have we been throwing away? The answer is olive polyphenols, especially hydroxytyrosol, a highly potent and protective antioxidant. In fact, polyphenols are much more prevalent in the olive juice than in the oil. Yet it is these unique polyphenols that are considered responsible for extra virgin olive oil’s health benefits. Imagine the antioxidant capacity of olive juice with up to 300 times more polyphenols than the oil! |
| Certified Organic Freeze Dried Pomegranate Powder | Contains the polyphenol antioxidants, punicalagins and ellagic acid. Research suggests that pomegranate may be beneficial for atherosclerosis, heart disease, osteoarthritis and prostate cancer. |
| Certified Organic Freeze-Dried Goji Berry Powder | The ‘red diamond’ of Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2000 years, contains the powerful carotenoid antioxidants, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, cryptoxanthin and xanthophyll. Carotenoids are thought to protect against cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, vision-related diseases (such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma), and are anticancer agents. |
| Certified Organic Freeze Dried Acai Berry Powder | Wild harvested sustainably and fairly from the Amazon forest, the powerful purple berry, Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) contains a potent antioxidant, anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are a group of phytochemicals found in red wine that is thought to contribute to the “French paradox”, i.e. France has one of the lowest incidences of heart disease of any western society despite the prevalence of smoking and a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Açaí contains anthocyanins, at 10-30 times the concentration found in red wine. Other potential physiological effects of anthocyanins include radiation-protective, chemoprotective, vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory. |
| Certified Organic Freeze Dried Blueberry Powder | Blueberries contain the polyphenolic antioxidant anthocyanins. Anthocyanins, which are flavonoids, were found in one study to have the strongest antioxidant power of 150 flavonoids tested. Anthocyanins have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties and protect both large and small blood vessels (including those in the eyes) from oxidative damage. |
| Certified Organic Freeze Dried Raspberry Powder | Raspberries contain the polyphenol antioxidant ellagic acid, that has been shown to reduce heart disease, birth defects, liver problems, and promotes wound healing. Ellagic acid may help inhibit different types of cancer-causing agents, including aflatoxin and nitrosamines. Ellagic acid seems to have some anti-cancer properties and has been found to cause death in cancer cells in the lab. |
| Certified Organic Freeze Dried Strawberry Powder | Strawberries are a rich source of the polyphenol antioxidants, quercetin, ellagic acid and anthocyanin. Quercetin has been shown to protect colon, breast, ovarian and gastrointestinal cells against cancer growth. Quercetin has also been shown to protect strokes, cataracts, viruses and allergies. |
