Super Greens

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity Fruits and vegetables contain a high ORAC value. ORAC value is a unit value assigned by researchers to measure the antioxidant value of a given food. Foods with a high ORAC value are beneficial to the body and contribute to balanced antioxidant status. Antioxidants fight free radicals, the agents that can cause cellular damage. Super Greens includes all natural organic fruits (where available) and provides a high ORAC, antioxidant blend. Super Greens incorporates the latest science of the highest ORAC fruits and vegetables and is formulated in a satisfying single serving to help patients fulfill their dietary needs. Fruits and vegetables have an exceptional combination of antioxidants that deliver greater nutrient value and absorption than standard antioxidant supplements.

The Organic Advantage Organically grown plants traditionally have higher total phenolic compounds. In a recent study at University of California, Davis, researchers found higher amounts of total phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, anthocyanidins, catechins and tannins, than in traditionally grown fruit. An increase in these secondary antioxidant metabolites help better support diets lacking in fruits and vegetables.
