Berry Radical - How Much Caffeine Does Berry Radical Contain?

Interesting research on caffeine in the field of homeopathy indicates caffeine’s stimulating effect when cooked, but not when eaten raw.

One experiment conducted with a decoction of roasted ground cacao beans in boiling water produced an excitement of the nervous system similar to that caused by black coffee and an excited state of circulation, demonstrated by an accelerated pulse. Notably, when the same decoction was made with raw, unroasted cacao beans neither effect was noticeable.

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

Blueberries 2400 100g

Cacao supplies important protection to cardiovascular health, and has been recognized to provide more than 21 times the free radical protection of green tea.
