ORAC means Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It is a test tube analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of foods and other chemical substances. Antioxidants prevent oxidation, protect cells from damage and prevent premature aging.
Anthocyanins are the components of fruits and vegetables in particular, berries, which provide the dark, rich colour. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants - the darker the colour of the berry the higher the antioxidant power. The multi berry combination found in Berry Energy is a standardized anthocyanin-rich extract which has been shown to reduce unwanted growth of blood vessels (angiogenesis), which may lead to varicose veins and tumor formation. Scientifi c evidence has shown that the benefi ts of anthocyanin-rich berries include not just antioxidant and anti-angiogenic activity, but also they help maintain DNA integrity, are anti-infl ammatory and anti-mutagenic (stop cells from mutating) and provide protection to the heart by maintaining vascular permeability. Berry Energy is more powerful than just one berry alone. It is the combination of all the berries in Berry Energy that make it so potent. Based on research evaluating more than 20 combinations of individual berry extracts one combination stood out above all others and this is the formula chosen for Berry Energy. The blend of cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, bilberry and elderberry extracts found in Berry Energy demonstrated superior effectiveness for promoting the health of the urinary tract, heart, skin, stomach, brain, blood sugar and much more.
