What is ORAC and does GenesisTM have a high ORAC score?
A. The way antioxidants have been measured recently is by an ORAC score; Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity test. I have a number of problems with this test. One of them is that this test only measures one thing. There are thousands of antioxidants that are important and there are thousands of free radicals that you want to destroy. This only measures the ability of an antioxidant to destroy one of them. Depending on whatever juice you use, you’re measuring against one antioxidant. It could be a very good score or it could be a very poor score. But when you measure it against a different antioxidant or different free radical it could be completely different. From the ORAC test they’ve developed an L-ORAC, and an H-ORAC, but the most important they’ve come out with is called the S-ORAC or Super ORAC test. This actually measures the super oxide or the Super Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity of primary antioxidants. When tested, GenesisTM had a very good score Now we’re measuring our S-O
