Living Fuel achieves new superfood milestone with high score on antioxidant test

Living Fuel achieves new superfood milestone with high score on antioxidant test

(NaturalNews) If you follow the news on superfoods, you’re probably familiar with the term “ORAC” — Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It’s a measure of the antioxidant power of a food or substance. You may not be aware that there’s a new, more advanced ORAC test available today: ORACFN.


ORACFN measures the food’s ability to protect against oxidative damage caused by five common radicals: hydroxyl, peroxyl, peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen, and superoxide anion. This is designed to provide a more accurate assessment on how the substance being tested might function in the human body.


I’ve been a customer and an advocate of Living Fuel products for many years (www.LivingFuel.com), and I’ve always known they offered potent antioxidant protection, but I didn’t know exactly how much until recently, when Living Fuel ran the ORACFN tests on their superfood products.


The results? Quite impressive.


LivingFuel Superberry (my favorite product in their lineup) scored an astonishing 119,200 on the ORACFN test. By comparison, Goji Berries score 25,300, and raw elderberries are 14,697. Apples score 6,681 on the ORAC scale, and raw blueberries score 6,552. (Source: ORACvalues.com)


The highest ORAC value on record for a common food is cloves, which score an amazing 314,446 (cloves are also an ingredient used in Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas, as is cinnamon, another high scorer on the ORAC scale).


In terms of superfood, it’s very rare to find a complete product measuring over 50,000 on the ORAC scale. Here’s what KC Craichy, the founder of Living Fuel, had to say about the test results:


“This new level of broad-spectrum antioxidant testing confirms what we have known for years about our leading-edge, high impact superfood. Living Fuel products provide broad-spectrum antioxidant protection which is dramatically more antioxidant protection than any of the wine-bottle antioxidant products, grape juice, vegetable juice, green tea, and grape seed extract can provide.”


What’s truly impressive about all this is that Living Fuel tastes fantastic, too. The Super Berry formula remains one of my favorite super food products to this day. I take it with me to Ecuador every chance I get in order to have some “fuel” to enhance my diet there. It provides more than just antioxidants, too, because it contains complete plant-based proteins, omega-3s and thousands of different phytonutrients not even mentioned on the label.

What’s in Living Fuel

Check out the Super Berry Ultimate product here: http://www.livingfuel-ultimate.com


The first four ingredients are:

Non-GMO brown rice and non-GMO yellow pea protein, Freeze-rried Organic SuperBerry complex (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and cranberries), Stabilized rice bran and Whole raw chia seeds.


The rest of the product is made with sea vegetables, enzymes, probiotics, amino acids, herbs, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other ingredients. The vitamins are found in extremely high-end forms: The Vitamin B12, for example, is methylcobalamin, which is far superior and roughly ten times more expensive than the cheaper cyanocobalamin found in more common nutritional products.


Living Fuel isn’t cheap. It’s not supposed to be — it’s a premium product made with premium ingredients. It’s used by professional athletes who compete in the Olympics, mountain climbers, martial arts competitors and many others. It’s what I take with me when I travel so that I can have real food in the hotel room, even if I don’t have access to fresh groceries. With Living Fuel, some water and a Blender Bottle (to shake up the beverage), you’ve got a meal anywhere in the world!


It’s no exaggeration to say that for the last several years, Living Fuel has been a very important part of my diet. I credit it with keeping me healthy and productive, even when dealing with the stresses of moving internationally, learning a new language and dealing with the many challenges that life throws our way.


I earn nothing from the sale of Living Fuel products, by the way. They’ve never paid me a dime, but they have provided me with the gift of this really amazing superfood. To me, that’s priceless.


Get some for yourself, if you wish, at www.LivingFuel.com — and try the Superberry Ultimate, you’ll really enjoy both the taste and its remarkably high antioxidant potential.

Do you Know These Secrets of Antioxidant Vitamins

December 6th, 2009

Almost each moment, we are affected by some toxic harmful substance known as ‘free radicals.’ The substances which possess antioxidant properties may function to protect us against these harmful substances. There are many vitamins – vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene – a form of vitamin A, and vitamin B2 – that possess possible health-promoting benefits due to their antioxidant properties. This article sheds light on a clear understanding of oxidation process, functions of antioxidant vitamins, and their availability in natural substances.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C works at cellular level. The role of this vitamin is quite significant to our health system in terms of its contribution to the production and resistance of bodily tissues. It plays major role in the process of collagen formation in the body. Vitamin C also affects our skin, teeth and bones significantly.

Vitamin E

It acts against formation of free radicals and heavy metal poisoning. It offers support for combating against toxic substances, drugs and alcohols. Vitamin E offers protection for cardiac health by preventing LDL cholesterol oxidation process.

Beta Carotene

Beta carotene is a specific form of vitamin A. It works against free radicals at cellular level. It reduces the speed of oxidation process significantly. If you depend on having diet rich in beta carotene levels, it has all the possibilities that you are having lesser health complications.

Oxidation process in human body

Our system obtains its energy from the consumption of nutrients. During the consumption process, our body uses oxygen as the fuel to execute the process. Apart from that, oxygen is also used by our body to ensure protection against foreign elements, fight against diseases and to provide strength to our immune system. Due to this process, different molecular agents are developed as a result of byproducts and other metabolic processes. Oxidation refers to the process when these molecular agents react with body tissues. This is a natural process for energy production, but the byproduct of this process is not good for health. Free radicals are the inevitable byproducts of this oxidation process. These free radicals can profoundly affect human cells and damage healthy cells.

Functions of Antioxidant Vitamins

Antioxidants counteract with the oxidation process. They are able to trim down the energy of the free radicals. They can terminate the development of free radicals in the first place. Apart from that, oxidation chain reaction is interrupted in the presence of antioxidants. It eventually minimizes the damages resulted from the interaction of free radicals.

Different scientific studies have proved the deadly effects of free radicals on human cells. These researches confirmed that free radicals may play one of the most significant roles promoting severe damages to the health system, like developing ageing, cancer and atherosclerosis. If you are become able to minimize exposure to free radicals and to maximize the intake of antioxidant vitamins and nutrients, you may be able to reduce the risk of health hazards resulting from free radicals.

There are no research studies so far that confirm that antioxidant vitamins are able to give specific protection against disease or they have the ability to treat any health complication. Increasing indications robustly suggest that antioxidant vitamins may function towards preventing diseases such as coronary heart disease, cancer and cataracts. Antioxidant vitamins help in aiding strengths to immune system and offer delaying in the ageing process.

Natural Availability

Antioxidant vitamins are found naturally in many fruits and vegetables including nuts, grains and red meats. Vitamin C is abundant in citrus fruits such as strawberries, kiwi and others. Additionally, it is also common in cereals, beef, poultry, and fish products. Vitamin E or alpha-tocopherol is profuse in many oils including wheat germ, safflower, corn and soybean oils. It can also be found in mangoes, broccoli and almonds. Beta carotene is available primarily in foods that are orange in color. Examples may include mangoes, carrots, apricots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, squash and cantaloupe. Vegetables like spinach, collard green and kale are also rich with vitamin beta carotene.
