Scientists developed techniques to measure the antioxidant capacity of foods, of which Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is one. The ORAC assay, developed at the National Institute on Aging, measures the degree of inhibition of peroxy-radical-induced oxidation and includes both inhibition time and the extent of inhibition of oxidation. While ORAC scores do provide some measurable means to compare foods and antioxidant products, there are some problems with ORAC testing. One of the biggest problems is that the results are based on weight or volume, and can be manipulated based on removing water. Dried fruit, therefore, scores higher than fresh fruit.

What is the ORAC value of hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acis is a very useful substance, exist in some foods but the hyaluronic acid is not a food; the ORAC values are determined only for foods. See the link bellow.
What does high orac level mean?
A high orac (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) level indicates a food or substance's strong antioxidant capacity, signifying its ability to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body. Foods with high ORAC values, such as berries, dark chocolate, and certain spices, are often associated with various health benefits, including improved heart health and reduced inflammation. However, it's important to consider overall dietary patterns rather than focusing solely on ORAC values for health.
What is ORAC units?
First off, "ORAC Units" is plural, and so Im sure you meant to ask what ARE ORAC Units. (come on people i didnt even go to high school lol jk! no but i really didnt) ORAC is a system/unit of measurement standing for and quantifying Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. As read on the back of my canister of 'Amazing Grass' (i swear im not trying to plug anything) brand antioxidant drink powder, which i use with my juicer, "Antioxidants ...help support the body's natural ability to neutralize free radicals. Their power is measured through a system called ORAC. Broccoli has 900 ORAC units per 3.5oz serving, and carrots, about 210 units". This particular brand boasts 15000 Units per very small (7g) scoop, and tastes fine. (although i already love the flavor of my juices. That sounds dirty...maybe i'll edit that part out.)
What cheap foods have a high orac score?
Foods that are both affordable and have a high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score include beans, particularly black beans and kidney beans, which are rich in antioxidants. Other budget-friendly options are fruits like blueberries and strawberries, as well as vegetables such as kale and spinach. Spices like cloves and cinnamon also score high on the ORAC scale while being inexpensive. Incorporating these foods into your diet can enhance antioxidant intake without breaking the bank.
Can you find the complete orac ratings on-line?
Go to the USDA.gov website. In the search box, type ORAC, or just type in part of the title of the actual report. I'm not positive how complete it is, but it rates a lot of different foods. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of Selected Foods - 2007 Prepared by Nutrient Data Laboratory Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center (BHNRC) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in collaboration with Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center, ARS, USDA, Little Rock, AR November 2007

What makes the o2 diet different from others?
The o2 diet is different from other diets because instead of counting calories, you are eating antioxident rich foods. You will not focus on calorie intake and how much food you consume, instead you will need to focus on eating foods that are high on the ORAC scale. www.fitsugar.com is where you can find more information.
