Our bodies’ cells require energy to carry out their essential functions, and oxygen creates that energy daily. But the process leaves behind a byproduct called a free radical. If free radicals are not removed from the body, they can, over time, cause oxidative stress. Antioxidants are the body’s natural defense against oxidative stress. The combination of antioxidant ingredients in Super ORAC pack a powerful punch in helping to protect cells from free radical damage. Oxidative stress has been implicated in aging and the impact on overall cardiovascular and neurological health. The antioxidants contained in Super ORAC help neutralize oxidation and the destructive effects of free radicals. ORAC is an acronym for oxygen radical absorbance capacity used for determining the antioxidant value of foods or supplements.

Benefits:
• Provides key nutrients needed by the body to neutralize free radicals.
• Helps prevent cellular damage.
• May exhibit anti-aging benefits.
How It Works
Although free radicals are generated naturally in the body, other sources can increase their number—including stress, pollution and even exercise. Each of these sourcescan take a toll on the body, but antioxidants can help offset that toll. Serving as scavengers in the body, antioxidants scour our systems and “mop up” free radicals before they have a chance to harm cells. Super ORAC combines several powerful antioxidants recognized for their ability to neutralize free radicals, thereby helping to maintain th integrity of cellular makeup.
