ORAC is the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity that measures foods' ability to scavenge up and neutralize free radicals which can cause cell damage and lead to premature aging and certain diseases. The higher the ORAC score, the greater the food's ability to boost the antioxidant power of your blood.
Scientific studies show that eating and drinking foods rich in antioxidants are the best and most effective ways to receive these important nutrients. Mountain Sun juices are an excellent way to get your daily requirement of antioxidants.
