What is ORAC?
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) test to measure the Total Antioxidant Potency of foods and nutritional supplements. Whole foods that score high in this antioxidant capacity are recognized to protect cells and their components from damage by oxygen radicals (also called free radicals). The ORAC standard is necessary because thousands of antioxidants exist in foods making it impossible to measure each individual antioxidant. ORAC provides an excellent method of determining the overall antioxidant potency of foods. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals (molecules or ions with a free electron in its outer shell), and help to prevent or minimize cellular damage.
