ORAC Research

Eating a healthy diet and having an active lifestyle are critical for maintaining good health. The CDC and other experts in human nutrition report that fruits and vegetables are an important part of a well-balanced diet and may reduce or protect you from the risks of some health issues. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients essential for a healthy diet and also provide a natural source of energy. AgelessXtra provides a nutritious fruit blend containing Concord grapes, cranberry, blueberry, and cherry juices known for their rich colors, high ORAC potential, and flavonoid content.

Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, the USDA Food Guide recommends that you eat about 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, equivalent to about 3000-3500 ORAC units per day, as part of a balanced diet—and to significantly impact the antioxidant capacity in the plasma and tissues. Although there is no recognizing nutritional index available for food labeling for “total antioxidant,” this amount is recommended by the USDA. The USDA reports that the average American dietary intake of antioxidants is about 1670 ORAC units per day. AgelessXtra helps, minimizing exposure to free radicals by providing approximately 4512 ORAC units per ounce of AgelessXtra Concentrate or 3.3 ounces of Ready-to-Drink MINIs, based on third party testing from Brunswick Laboratories in Massachusetts.
