Product Description
An analysis of 17 studies on breast cancer risk and diet found that high consumption of vegetables was associated with a 25% decreased risk of breast cancer compared with low consumption. The same report analyzed 12 studies that found high consumption of fruit was associated with a 6% reduction of breast cancer incidence compared with low consumption. Opti Greens’ organic formula is rich in natural antioxidants, and is a good source of dietary fiber from fruits and vegetables that provide the equivalent of the 5-6 servings of fruits and vegetables we need to eat every day.
ORAC Value Story
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a unit value assigned by researchers to measure the antioxidant value of a given food. Foods with a high ORAC value are beneficial to the body by increasing plasma antioxidant levels. Since these values are difficult to substantially influence within the body, an increase in plasma antioxidants is significant. Raw fruits and vegetables have a unique combination of antioxidants that have proven better than supplementation with individual antioxidant vitamins.
The Organic Advantage— Why Organic is So Much Better
Opti Greens is an organic food, using organically grown vegetables and fruits meeting the strict new USDA criteria for organic food claims.
The simple reason organic is better lies in the plant’s natural survival instincts in the absence of pesticides and other chemicals. By relying on it’s own defenses, plants consistently measure dramatically higher in total phenolic compounds when compared with conventionally grown produce.
In a recent study at UC-Davis, researchers found significantly higher amounts of flavonoids, anthocyanidins, catechins, and tannins as well as ascorbic acid in organically grown fruit and produce. The increase in these compounds merges as leading benefits to consuming organic produce.
A high ORAC product that helps patients overcome diets lacking the necessary five servings a day intake of raw fruits and vegetables. The best grasses and combined with the highest ORAC fruits and vegetables into an easy capsule exceeds virtually every scientific recommendation published in recent years.
