| Q. |
What are antioxidants? |
 |
| A. |
When oxygen is used in our body, some of the oxygen is turned into free radicals (oxygen molecules that are unstable). To stabilize themselves, oxygen radicals steal extra electrons from other molecules nearby. Antioxidants prevent this ‘theft’ before it can happen. However there must be enough antioxidants present to counter these free radicals thereby reducing the total ‘oxidative stresses’ caused by these radicals. Free radicals will always be present as they are part of life but having antioxidants present will reduce the damage to our cells. Many of the strongest antioxidants are protective pigments in fruits and vegetables.

| Q. |
What is ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity)? |
 |
| A. |
ORAC is a measure of antioxidant power developed by the US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center. It is suggested that foods with high ORAC score will be more effective in neutralizing free radicals as well as slowing down the oxidative processes and free radical damage that contribute to age-related degeneration and diseases.

|
| Q. |
What is the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of 1 capsule of Veggie Power? |

Each capsule of Veggie Power delivers around 2,000 ORAC units of antioxidant power, which is close to the antioxidant value of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. The latest research shows that we need at least 2,500 ORAC units daily to maintain good health.
