Berry Radical - Why Did You Make A Powder Instead Of A Juice?

By utilising raw, freeze-dried powders we have concentrated all the nutrition from the fruits and berries into a much more potent,nutrient dense form.

Which is why 1 box of berry radical is equivalent to 12 bottles of mangosteen juice 17 bottles of goji juice and 41 bottles of noni juice,in terms of antioxidant capacity.

Our organic fruit and berry powders are highly concentrated foods, with all the nutrients and enzymes in the fresh fruit. Only water has been removed.

Gram for gram, powders are far more potent and concentrated than waterdown juices.

Many fruits are more than 90 percent water, which mean you get at least 10 times the nutrients in a freeze-dried fruit than the fresh fruit or a rehydrated juice.

Powders do not require the preservatives that juices do.

The freeze drying process does not kill the enzymes. It puts them in a state of suspended animation.

They are brought back to life by adding the Berry Radical to liquid.

Berry Radical - Why Plants Contain Antioxidants?

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants convert light energy from the sun into stored physical energy. Photosynthesis exposes plants to a massive number of free radicals. Plants produce antioxidants to protect themselves from damage by these free radicals.

Antioxidant plant pigments, primarily carotenoids and polyphenols that are
responsible for the bright colours of many orange, red, blue and purple fruits,berries and algae, provide most of this protection.

Research has shown that
human ingestion of these plant-based antioxidants result in similar protection.
Research also shows that antioxidants work synergistically
(where the combined effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects) and are far more effective when a spectrum of antioxidants are ingested, rather that individual isolated compounds.
