AnthoBerry® ORAC 6000 is a great-tasting food powder blend of standardised berry and fruit extracts, sourced specifically for their high quality, antioxidant potency - it’s a delicious way to increase your daily intake of free radical quenchers. Berries and coloured fruits are rich sources of antioxidants - the red, blue and purple pigments include the important anthocyanins that play a protective role as free radical quenchers in the body. AnthoBerry® ORAC 6000 has been designed to utilise the latest scientific research underlining the importance of antioxidants in the diet. The AnthoBerry® blend offers standardised, high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value extracts of blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, cherry, prune, grape and blackcurrant - all specifically chosen to provide a powerful antioxidant combination. Because the antioxidant value of foods varies markedly depending upon soil, climate, processing, freshness and other factors, standardisation is critical. Antioxidant potency is now measured by the ORAC value, which represents the total antioxidant value of foods without differentiating between individual antioxidants. Key Features and Benefits A naturally sourced, delicious and versatile powdered daily supplement which provides a substantial amount of antioxidants. Improves the body’s antioxidant status, and hence free radical quenching capacity. Two teaspoons per day supplies 6000 ORAC units, approximately the same amount of antioxidants as two cups of blueberries. Utilises a combination of nutrients, which may have a greater protective effect than antioxidant nutrients taken in isolation. Can be conveniently added to water, juice or IsoWhey Complete™ French Vanilla for an enriched and delicious Berries Delight smoothie. Enriches the diet with anthocyanins, flavonols, polyphenols and catechins. Free of artificial sweeteners, colours, flavours and preservatives.

To a certain extent, free radicals are just a part of being alive. It is estimated that every single cell in the body is attacked by a free radical about 10 000 times a day! Our bodies are constantly breaking down molecules to simpler ones (e.g. carbohydrates in food to simple sugars for fuel) and building bigger molecules (e.g. using amino acids to make protein). These are the processes of metabolism, and involve energy production. Most of the time energy production requires oxygen; and this naturally produces a great deal of free radicals. As we age the number of free radicals we naturally produce increas...
