ORAC value of Absolute Acai

Question: Hello,
I am wondering what is the ORAC value of your Absolute Acai Freeze-Dried Acai Powder? Your Web site mentions that “It has been found that freeze-dried acai has the highest antioxidant activity (ORAC value), maintaining the nutrient profile of the freshly harvested fruit” but does not give the actual ORAC value.
Thank you,
Valerie
Answer: Valerie,
From our webpage:
“Research has been done by reputable U.S. laboratories to determine which form of açaí maintains the highest level of antioxidants. It has been found that freeze-dried acai has the highest antioxidant activity (ORAC value), maintaining the nutrient profile of the freshly harvested fruit. “
This is a general statement and not a quote or statement about the specific ORAC value of our product. It is just a comparison to all forms of the acai. Personally, I am not a promoter of ORAC, it’s internet hype, and don’t use it as my gauge in determining my 950+ nutritional products I carry in my practice. Please read my blog post on ORAC.
In a nutshell; if you want the closest form to fresh, than 100% organic freeze dried acai is it!
I am here to help if you have any additional questions.

Have You Done Any Research On Mona Vie?

Question: Hello, I live in Murrieta and I came across your site while doing some research on Mona Vie juice. Your company appears to be very knowledgeable about various forms of health drinks, so I was wondering if you have had an opportunity to do any research on Mona Vie. I’m always looking for expert opinions.
Thank you for your time,
John P.
Murrieta
Answer: John,
We have not done testing on that product per se but I do know the product very well. All I can say is if you are doing it as a business and you are presently doing well at it, great! On the other hand, if you are looking for a potent acai juice or other therapy juice, with no obligation and at less cost, than we offer a great product. There is nothing wrong with Mona Vie other than it is very expensive for what you are getting.
If I can help in any other way than please e-mail me back.
Sincerely,
Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc
