ORAC

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a lab testing procedure which measures the total antioxidant capacity of foods. ORAC measures how many oxygen radicals a specific food can absorb and deactivate. The more oxygen radicals a food absorbs, the higher its ORAC score. The higher the ORAC score, the better the food may be in helping our bodies fight diseases like cancer and heart disease.

Nutrition experts estimate a person needs to consume 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units a day to reach a significant antioxidant capacity in the blood associated with health benefits.

Just 100grams of Montmorency cherry juice concentrate supplies 12,800 ORAC units. A 30ml serving weighs approximately 40g and therefore supplies 5,120 ORAC units – more than an entire day’s recommendation!
