In reading ads and articles for acai berry supplements and free acai berry trials, you may across the acronym ORAC used to reference acai berry supplements’ antioxidant content. But what is ORAC and what has it to do with acai berry supplements?

Say researchers at Tufts University, the human body requires around 5,000 oxygen radical absorbency capacity units (or ORAC units) per day to counteract free-radical damage. So ORAC is a measurement of a food’s free-radical fighting capabilities. Since free radicals promote illness, disease, and sings of aging, you can see why it’s not only important to researchers but to you as well that you get enough ORAC units from your food each day to keep yourself youthful and healthy.

Many foods – in particular, fruits and vegetables – have high ORAC unit values. To give you an idea of where acai berry supplements fall in this assessment, the food with the highest ORAC rating cited by the study, pomegranates, has 2,750 ORAC units. The acai berry in free acai berry supplements has around 10,000.
