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.

I am so impressed with your noni juice that I give it as a gift to my friends. My brother suffered from severe allergies and sinusitis. He was on inhalers and looked and felt like crap all the time. I started him on your noni a year ago April when his medications were no longer working due to over prescription. He is off everything now thanks to noni. It is truly a life changing drink!
