Why Antioxidants are Vital to the Human Body
by Gill Moreira.
The human body needs on average 1500 ppmg ORAC Antioxidants daily to be able to
work fighting the oxidation taking place in the cells.
What is Oxidation?
Oxidation is actually a simple process. When something oxidizes, for instance a piece
of steel, it starts changing its color. The first sign of oxidation on a piece of steel is
red or brown spots that gradually grow on until the steel is completely covered and
even destroyed with time. The human body’s cells work the same way. The Oxidation
taking place in the cells starts destroying them one by one until it takes over part of
the body or a specific organ.
What are Antioxidants?
Antioxidants are substances capable of protecting other substances from oxidation.
While our cells use oxygen, they produce free radicals – one of our worst enemies.
Antioxidants have the power to literally clean the free radicals and repair the damage
they cause. Antioxidants are produced by our body to inhibit the destructive action of
free radicals. Nutrients like flavonoids, lycopene, lutein, coenzyme Q10, betacarotene,
Vitamin E and C, and selenium are powerful tools that give our body the
weapons to fight against oxidation. Foods that provide us with a significant quantity
of these elements are: flavonoids (soy, pomegranate, purple grapes, tomatoes,
cranberries, pink grapefruit); selenium (fish, shellfish, red meat, garlic); vitamin E
(vegetable oil, olive oil, nuts and seeds); Vitamin C (citrus fruits, green pepper,
broccoli, strawberries); Vitamin A and carotenoids (carrots, squash, sweet potatoes,
tomatoes, peaches and apricots). To date, however, the single most powerful source
of antioxidants is Açaí, a natural health ambrosia whose exceptional antioxidant
qualities have recently been discovered by nutritional and medical studies.
White part known as the Cell’s Army – Defends the cells against Oxidation attacks
Red part - Establishes communication with other Cells keeping your body Healthy
Rust Brown pigments - Oxidants ready to attack a Cell
Dark Purple pigments - Antioxidants protecting the Cells, keeping the Cell’s Army Strong
Açaí #1 Source of Antioxidants
The Açaí (pronounced ah-sah-ee) tree is a palm that grows in South America,
specifically in the Amazon Rain Forest. The small berries that grow on top of this tree
are dark violet in color and are known as the Açaí berry. The Açaí berry has the
symmetry of a grape and the size of a giant blueberry. It tastes a bit like wild
raspberry with a hint of grape. It can only be consumed after extracting the pulp
from the berries and freezing immediately after de-pulping.
Hidden for centuries in the deep Amazon Rain Forest, Açaí is a recent discovery that
gives tremendous hope. It is the most powerful antioxidant ever known.
How to Consume Açaí
Consumers need to know: Most of the blended Açaí products on the market are
mixed with different flavors and have no more benefit than ordinary juices. Many
producers and retailers tend to be more concerned with what goes into their pocket
rather than what goes into the consumer. The best Açaí product for your body is the
pure Açaí with no carriers and no mixers. Top Products Recommended:
*The Frozen Pulp of Açaí – this is the liquid-frozen most natural product.
*Freeze Dry Powder – this is the most powerful natural fruit powder available,
where you get the most concentration of Antioxidants and Minerals in one single
dose. Freeze drying the Açaí pulp increases the amount of all nutrients including the
Antioxidants. The ORAC rate for Freeze Dried Açaí is over 1200 ppmg, compared to
the ORAC of a Regular Açaí Frozen Pulp being 700 ppmg.
What is ORAC?
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. ORAC is a technique used to
determine the overall antioxidant activity of any biological sample. The ORAC assay
measures the actual antioxidant activities of humans, food products, food
ingredients, agricultural products, and pharmaceutical products. An average
person requires 1670 ORAC each day. In reality, 80% to 90% of people around
the world are not consuming even half of the daily requirement for ORACs. A single
dosage of a ready-to-eat 7 oz.cup of Organic Açaí Power Sorbet will give you an
ORAC level of 3871, more than double the adult daily requirement.
Where to Find the Right Açaí Products
Since 1997 extensive research and development have been undertaken by Universal
Taste, Inc., a Brazilian based company with an office in N. Miami Beach, FL. This
pioneer company harnessed the technology to capture the nutrient value of Açaí and
make it market-ready for the consumer, exporting directly out of the Amazon Rain
Forest. Universal Taste has been collaboratively growing its knowledge regarding
Açaí and Antioxidants with Brunswick Laboratories in Brazil and the USA. To date, it
is a fact that the only way to preserve Antioxidants is to keep them in a frozen
and/or freeze dried state. Unless world science comes up with a natural way of
preserving Antioxidants (Anthocyanins) in standard liquid format, there will be no
relevant active antioxidants found in any of the Açaí juices or liquid products offered
on the retailer’s and supermarket’s regular shelf.
Universal Taste offers Certified Organic Raw Açaí in individual Ice Ball Portions (a
convenient way to consume the raw pulp in its natural flavor) as well as Freeze Dried
Powder packaged in 90 Gram Jars ready to be consumed, and the Açaí Power Sorbet,
an organic blend of pure Açaí Berries packaged in a 7 oz. ready-to-eat cup or
available in Gallons (plain or mixed with Banana or Strawberry and Guarana Syrup).
All these products deliver the highest amount of Antioxidants, Calcium, Iron, healthy
Omega fats, protein and fiber into your bloodstream. This Açaí has the highest level
of ORAC in the market - 20 times more than pomegranate and double that of
blueberries.
Gill Moreira, founder of Universal Taste Inc., introduced the first Açaí products to the
world market in 1998, importing the product into North America in 1999 as part of
UT’s Project S.O.S. Amazon Fund, a sustainable program inside the Rain Forest
focused on growing and preserving Açaí. As well, Universal Taste works to support
University of Florida’s research in the Rain Forest for natural health cures. For more
