From the desk of Jeff Graham – MonaVie’s Executive Vice President of Global Product Strategy
Im sure most of you have heard of the term: ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity).

ORAC assays measure the ability of an isolated nutrient to slow the degeneration of a synthetic fluorescent molecule in a test tube - essentially, ONE free radical - it has no bearing whatsoever on the actual antioxidant benefits of the nutrient in a living system.

Our bodies are not test tubes. Our bodies do not react the same way a compound reacts in a test tube. What we know about antioxidants is this; MORE are not necessarily BETTER.

So, what can most scientists agree on with respect to antioxidants?

It is important to get a wide variety of different types of antioxidants in the diet because different antioxidants counteract damage by different types of free radicals - and within different cellular compartments. Think: “Antioxidant Network” - that network being made up of 5 major classes of antioxidants: Vitamin E (family), Vitamin C (family), Carotenoids, Bioflavonoids, and Thiols - and your cells need representatives from each and every one of these categories in order to mount the strongest antioxidant defense.

My point: Forget ORAC! If anyone pitches you on ORAC - walk away. Variety is the key to antioxidant health and that variety happens to be found in MonaVie's portfolio of products especially, our propriety (patented) juice blends.

MonaVie doesn’t have to use hype or hide behind website/signup link...(you find axe murderers & scam artists do that) they use natures best + science (65+ studies Incl Human Trials (e.g. 1 shows MonaVie Active entered (vs placebo) the blood stream at cellular level at both 1 & 2 hr intervals), but real litmus test is real people feel the difference when take…why sold Billions of these http://lahay.mymonavie.com/products/index.html
And why we take daily but know well meaning but misguided on subject will dismiss...big huge mistake, we use the Internet to conduct biz seamlessly in 23 countries so far ...but staring at my screen quoting others will not circumvent the results of poor nutrition
