ORAC value, or "ORAC score" (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a method of measuring the antioxidant capacity of different foods and supplements. It was developed by scientists at the National Institutes of Health.
According to the free-radical theory of aging, foods higher on the ORAC scale will slow the oxidative processes and free radical damage that can contribute to age-related degeneration and disease. The exact relationship between the ORAC value of a food and its health benefit still has not yet been established.
Ultra International's "Mind" is the World's Strongest Antioxidant nutritional energy drink designed to increase energy levels, protect the immune system and mental health. It is enhanced with over 120 plant derived vitamins and minerals. It also has a patented aloe vera delivery system.
When compared to five of the leading competitors (Vemma, Monavie, Xanago, Tahitian Noni, Himalayan Goji) by Brunswick lab, an independent testing lab. Mind contains the highest known ORAC value on the market (7370 per ounce). When a substance contains a high ORAC value there is a stronger ability and greater capacity to prevent drastic damage at the cellular level from free radicals. Oxidative stress occurs when the production of harmful molecules called free radicals is beyond the protective capability of the antioxidant defenses.
Mind is prepared from several nutrition rich plant extracts, including:
Acai Berry for antioxidants.
Mangosteen for the immune system.
Goji berry for improving the eyesight.
Blueberry for the Vitamin C.
Noni for a variety of essential vitamins.
Green tea extract for promoting a hearthy digestive system.
Pomegranate, B vitamins, and Vitamin C Much research has recently focused on how antioxidant vitamins may reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Antioxidant vitamins - E, C and beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) - have potential health-promoting properties. Though the data are incomplete, up to 30 percent of Americans are taking some form of antioxidant supplement.
