Today's food supply is grown in nutrient deficient soil and then heavily processed, making it almost impossible to obtain the concentrations of daily nutrients necessary to sustain our health.
Berry Radical is a revolutionary organic superfood designed to assist the body in attaining vibrant health and longevity. The ingredients in Berry Radical have been proven to assist the body in neutralizing free radical damage.
Why Do We Need Antioxidants?
Oxidation (think rust on a vehicle!) occurs in the body when free radicals damage cells. Free radicals can be produced by natural biological processes (such as during exercise), or introduced from outside via UV or gamma radiation, pesticides, preservatives, chemical pollution, tobacco smoke, sub-optimal eating habits, etc. Free radicals are believed to accelerate the progression of Cancer, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, cardiovascular disease, and age-related diseases. Anti-oxidants neutralize free radicals.
What Are ORAC Units?
ORAC, short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is a standardized measurement of the antioxidant power (ability to neutralize free radicals) of a substance. Nutritionists recomment that we consume 5000 ORAC units daily. One serving (half a cup) of fruits and vegetables provides about 500 ORAC units. If you're not eating at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, you're not getting enough ORAC units to mop up the damage caused by free radicals in your body! One serving of Berry Radical equals over 7000 ORAC units!!!
