Olive

Extract from the pulp of fresh organically grown olives is the source of antioxidant polyphenols. Hydroxytyrosol is the natural olive polyphenol with the maximum level of free radical protection activity ever reported for any natural antioxidant compound!

At the same time as the olive has been in a spotlight for its oil, until now the olive water, or juice, has been a simple by product of olive production. In spite of everything, the olive is only 15-20% oil and more than 50% juice. So what have we been dumping? It's simple olive polyphenols, mainly hydroxytyrosol, an extremely effective and protective antioxidant.

Actually, polyphenols are much more widespread in the olive juice than in the oil. Yet it is these unique polyphenols that are considered accountable for extra virgin olive oil’s health benefits. Imagine the antioxidant ability of olive juice with up to 300 times more polyphenols than the oil!

High ORAC Antioxidants Superfoods And Dietary Supplements.

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a standardised measurement of the full antioxidant power of a substance.

Antioxidant strength is the ability to deactivate oxygen free radicals. Therefore, the more free radicals a matter can absorb, the higher its ORAC score. Experts suggest that we eat around 5000 ORAC units per day to considerably influence antioxidant action in the body and decrease free radical harm.

Approximately 500 ORAC units you may get from one serving (half a cup) of fruits or vegetables.

And If you’re not consuming at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, you’re not reaching the suggested quantity of ORAC units to wipe up the injury caused by free radicals in your body each day.

The ORAC score of 1 gram of Berry Radical is 1448. So, one 5g sachet of Berry Radical contains over 7000 ORAC units!One 150g of Berry Radical box contains over 217,000 ORAC units. Below is the published data of the ORAC score of some high antioxidant Superfoods and dietary supplements:

SuperFoods/Supplements ORAC Score / Serving
