It also supplies 400% of the Daily Value for Vitamin C. In addition, fiber from flax seed and digestive enzymes are included to support overall gastrointestinal health.
Measuring Antioxidant Activity – The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity
The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay is a method for quantifying the antioxidant strength of substance (i.e. its ability to fight free radicals). The method was developed in part at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. The measurement is standardized against a watersoluble vitamin E derivative (called Trolox) which has a known ORAC value, and is reported in terms of Trolox equivalents (μmole TE). This method serves as an excellent way to quantify the ability of various compounds to quench free radicals. ORAC values have been measured for many fruits and vegetables as well as numerous plant extracts. For example, a single serving (1/2 cup) of fruits and vegetables yields an ORAC value between 600 – 800 μmoleTE. Based on the recommendation that we should be consuming nine to thirteen servings of fruits and vegetables a day, one can tell that the ORAC value of a healthful diet would be quite high. ORAC value for Organic Greens and Reds is approximately 3,000 μmoleTE per serving which is the ORAC equivalent of 3-4 servings of fruits and vegetables. While dietary supplements do not take the place of a healthy, well-balanced diet, Organic Greens and Reds can serve as an excellent way to help meet the daily fruit and vegetable serving recommendations.
