What is ORAC, and how does it relate to AppleBoost Products?
ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It’s a way to measure how a particular substance absorbs the damaging free radicals, or oxidants, that are associated with aging and disease. The higher the ORAC value, the more protection from oxidation it gives you. Fresh Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples, for instance, score very high on the ORAC scale, but dried apple peel powder (DAPP) scores almost five times higher.

Researcher Rui Hai Liu, Ph.D, and his team at Cornell University found a way to dry and mill apple peels while keeping all the natural nutrients intact. Dr. Liu went on to patent this process. The nutrients in dried apple peel are so powerful that Dr. Liu wrote his patent application for dried apple peel powder with cancer treatment in mind. Careful laboratory testing and analysis confirm that gram for gram, the nutrients in dried apple peel are even more con

The higher the ORAC value, the more protection from oxidation it gives you. Fresh Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples, for instance, score very high on the ORAC scale, but gram for gram, dried apple peel powder (DAPP) scores ten times higher.
