Question: Hello,
I am wondering what is the ORAC value of your Absolute Acai Freeze-Dried Acai Powder? Your Web site mentions that “It has been found that freeze-dried acai has the highest antioxidant activity (ORAC value), maintaining the nutrient profile of the freshly harvested fruit” but does not give the actual ORAC value.
Thank you,
Valerie
Answer: Valerie,
From our webpage:
“Research has been done by reputable U.S. laboratories to determine which form of açaí maintains the highest level of antioxidants. It has been found that freeze-dried acai has the highest antioxidant activity (ORAC value), maintaining the nutrient profile of the freshly harvested fruit. “
This is a general statement and not a quote or statement about the specific ORAC value of our product. It is just a comparison to all forms of the acai. Personally, I am not a promoter of ORAC, it’s internet hype, and don’t use it as my gauge in determining my 950+ nutritional products I carry in my practice. Please read my blog post on ORAC.
In a nutshell; if you want the closest form to fresh, than 100% organic freeze dried acai is it!
I am here to help if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
