What Does ORAC Value Mean?

The USDA recommends an intake of approximately 5,000 units of ORAC per day to receive optimum health benefits. Unfortunately, the average person is only receiving about 20 to 25 percent of the USDA recommended allowance. Eating eight to ten servings of brightly colored fruits or dark greens will help you achieve the recommended level.

Olivamine supplements provide another way to increase your daily ORAC score. You can safely take up to four Olivamine capsules a day along with the other Pinnaclife products. Unless there is some specific health issue, taking two Olivamine capsules a day is plenty. Olivamine combined with your normal food intake will provide you with the perfect antioxidant score for good health and a long life. It is best to not exceed the upper ORAC limit set by the USDA since there are health risks associated with exceeding this limit.

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods. ORAC is measured in units, and the higher the value, the greater the antioxidant power. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals that attack cells and are known to be involved in disease and aging. Olivamine supplements and fruits and vegetables with higher ORAC scores are more capable of helping fight diseases and aging more than those with low ORAC scores.
