What is Your ORAC value?--Hint inside

[Guest]

Your ORAC value will be impressive once you swallow a capsule. I mean the strongest in world.

The new theromogenic's ORAC value is off the sheezy! I have really impressed myself, and I'm unimpressive.

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity?

Why are you talking about my ORAC value? Are you planning on eating me? Should I run and hide somewhere?

How many μmol/dag are we looking at?

Unlike Mike Tyson, I will not eat your babies.

Over 8,000!

[thesinner]

That is an impressive number.

Blueberries have approximately 2400 μmol/dag, in case someone's wondering how they compare.

Here's a nice article I found on ORAC foods. Eat your veggies, folks.

New Superfood?

No Part of our new Thermogenic Plus.

Oxidative stress plays a huge role in T4-T3 conversion and not to mention daily stress and weight management increase oxidative stress.

Yea it kicks blueberries in the arse and not to mention my complexion is glowing!..In a manly sort of way

I was just over reading more about it in various threads.

Interesting...

Let's also not forget that FR oxidation propagates.

Meaning fat metabolism is an oxidative process?

[thesinner]

Not what I was alluding to, but you are correct. Fat is oxidized for energy (which is why you breathe).

When a free radical comes "rams" into another chemical in the body, it destroys said chemical (of function) and produces more free radicals. Free Radicals are like bunnies, they multiply Autooxidations and other free radical chain reactions have three stages:
-activiation
-propagation
-termination
Essentially, more and more and more free radicals are formed until something comes to stop it.

In the case of an anti-oxidant, they work sorta like a bodyguard wearing a bullet proof vest. A free radical collides into it, and it's just like "Whatever, little unstably charged punk. Can't break this!"

..and I'm unimpressive.

Don't be so hard on yourself Jacob. I think your work is quite impressive!.

haha the reverse psychology worked.

[tattoopierced1]

everything USP makes is impressive.. further solidifying my theory that someone somehow made a pact with the devil

You forgot chain transfer - you azzhole!!!

The value for Aronia melanocarpa (chokeberry)has not been included in the chart, which according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aronia, has "one of the highest values yet recorded, of 16,100 micromoles of Trolox Eq. per 100 g (Wu et al. 2004)."

Is it higher than this J?

[propho]

awesome just made the handful of blueberries in my shake taste that much better

No not higher than that but our compound serves 2 purposes.

1. Increase metabolic rate
2. Happens to have a high ORAC value

Not bad!

Are you wanting us to guess the substance/plant?
