Berry Radical aims to assist the body in achieving longevity, vibrant health and wellbeing. Due to nutrient deficient soils and modern time constraints, it is very difficult to obtain the quality and concentrations of daily nutrients needed to have a positive impact on our health. The ingredients in Berry Radical are proven to assist the body in neutralising free radical damage.
Free radicals are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis and age-related diseases. Oxidation occurs when free radicals (highly reactive, high-energy particles) ricochet wildly throughout the body and damage cells. Free radical activity is created within the body by natural biological processes, as well as being caused by sub-optimal eating habits, tobacco smoke, toxins or other pollutants. Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables help to neutralise free radical activity.
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, with substances receiving a higher ORAC score in line with the amount of free radicals i can absorb. Nutritionists recommend the consumption of about 5000 ORAC units per day to significantly reduce free radical damage and impact upon antioxidant activity in the body. One serving of fruits and vegetables provides about 500 ORAC units, meaning that you are falling short of the nutritionists' recommendations to prevent free radical damage if you eat less than 10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
One serving of Berry Radical, equivalent to one heaping teaspoon, contains over 4,000 ORAC units.
