How does GoYin compare to the daily recommended dosage of fruits & vegetables?
A – We can use a measurement called ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) to gauge the overall antioxidant “power” of a particular product or food. Since a dietary intake of 7-10 servings of brightly colored fruits and veggies would deliver around 9,000-17,000 ORAC units (depending on the specific foods chosen), this it the amount that we should shoot for from our supplements (keeping in mind that “more” is NOT “better” when it comes to antioxidants). Each serving of GoYin provides about 6000-6500 ORAC units based on testing from an independent laboratory. This means that 2 servings of GoYin daily will provide roughly the same antioxidant potential or “power” (about 12,000-13,000 ORAC units) as approximately 9-12 servings of fruits and veggies. This is good news for the average American, who averages only 2-3 servings of fruit/veggies daily (primarily bananas and potatoes – which are low in antioxidants) – and who can certainly benefit from a higher intake of antioxidant nutrients.
