A few days ago EpiGaia issued a press release highlighting its impressive ORAC test results. The release was subtitled, “EpiGaia’s Antioxidant Power Out Rates Most Popular Health Drinks” - because EpiGaia’s ORAC value was:

… 16,450 units per daily serving (50 grams) - three times as powerful as pomegranate juice (ORAC of 5,250) and almost two times more powerful than Acai berry juice (ORAC of 9,200). It is over ten times more potent than juice made from Noni berries (ORAC of 856), Goji berries (ORAC of 706), and blueberries (ORAC of 1,600).

A brief explanation of ORAC:
ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity - basically, how well a food or supplement performs as an antioxidant. Foods and nutrients with a higher ORAC score are believed to be more effective at eliminating oxygen free radicals in the body, promoting improved health and function of the body.

So, EpiGaia’s high ORAC value - higher than several other nutrition/health drinks and juices - looks pretty impressive. One possible explanation comes from Guohua (Howard) Cao, a physician and chemist who developed the ORAC assay: “It may be that combinations of nutrients found in foods have greater protective effects than each nutrient taken alone.”

If you’d like to read the press release, it’s available here. For more information about EpiGaia, be sure to visit the EpiGaia website and download the free report, “Epigenetic Nutrition: Attaining Natural Good Health through Ancestral Sourced Whole Foods.”

The main purpose of this blog is to update you about EpiGaia and the world of epigenetic nutrition, genetic health and DNA ancestry.

We have spent the last three years creating a nutrient formula based on the study of genetic genealogy, anthropology, biology and archeology. We believe it is the most optimal nutrition available today. If you are interested in learning more about EpiGaia, the first step is to download the Free Report.
