Best Antioxidant Formula |Antioxidant Formula Report| : RESEARCH REVIEW of TOP Formula. Who among us does not want to live a longer and healthier life?We have been told that one
way to do this is to "Eat your fruits and vegetables." Despite the knowledge that has linked
diets rich in fruits and vegetables to a risk reduction of many chronic diseases and possibly
aging, only a small percentage of us actually consume the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits
and vegetables daily. Although numerous studies confirm risk reduction through consumption
of these foods, the actual mechanism remains somewhat of a mystery. However, there is
generally little doubt that the antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables is at least partially
responsible for their favorable effects. top healthy aging formula
Antioxidants prevent oxidative damage to cells.
Many consumers are not aware that a relatively simple, but sensitive, method exists that quantifies
the antioxidant capacity of foods and supplements. The measurement technique is the Oxygen
Radical Absorbance Capacity. The anacronym for this assay, "ORAC," is appearing more often in
consumer literature and on some supplement labels. The technique, developed by the National
Institute of Aging and standardized by the USDA, measures how well a sample inhibits an oxidizing
agent (or in other words, disarms free radicals) and how long it takes to do so. The agent used as
a standard control for antioxidant activity is a non-commercial, water-soluble derivative of tocopherol
called Trolox. The units of an ORAC value are expressed as micromoles Trolox equivalents per gram
of a substance (mmole TE/g).
The number of Trolox Equivalents that equate to eating an average of 5-9 servings of a variety of
fruits and vegetables per day is 6000. Below is an ORAC Values chart with just some examples of
foods that have been rated.1
