Orac Scale

How do they measure antioxidant ORAC scale? What are tools used?

How many ORAC units does the per-pound body needs daily to neutralize aging? Among high antioxidant fruits and vitamines like ACE, goji, pomegranate, berries, prune, cordycept and reishi mushroom, and many others, which one has highest ORAC? Thanks.

Very well, where do I begin.

1) i see flaws with this ORAC jive in terms of how the study was done.
2) I understand sort of how its done to a degree, but you would need extensive background in chem to understand i would think. So in laymen's terms: its magic.
3) Nothing will neutralise aging because an excess of antioxidants can be deleterious (there's a reason we have oxidants)... the best antioxidant is not one measured on this scale--- its a supplement called n-acetyl cysteine.

ACE are good vitamins, but E is probably the best. Regardless your body won't use excess vitamins you ingest, it will filter them out in your urine.

4) acai berry. good luck finding that. so just eat raw fruits and veggies and get NAC. my $.02

aging is inevitable.
