ORAC VALUE COMPARISON
How does your antioxidant drink stack up?
Want the highest ORAC value and the best quality product available? Here is a comparison of all of the well-known antioxidant drinks.
Increasingly, science is showing that antioxidants fight the oxidative stress of modern living, which may lead to premature aging and disease. The surest way of measuring a product's antioxidant capacity is through two different tests - Total Phenolics and ORAC.
ORAC capacity is the most widely known test.
ORAC Test: Refers to the "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity" of a juice-based liquid. Chemicals are added to each product sample and the liquid's ability to oxidize, or absorb, the chemical reaction is observed. The higher the absorption, the higher the ORAC score, and the higher the antioxidant capacity.
