The Ultimate Antioxidant Product
Some of what we know about Antioxidants  

Antioxidant molecule

So What is an Antioxidant and why should I care?

  An antioxidant is a chemical that prevents the oxidation of other chemicals. In biological systems, the normal processes of oxidation (plus a minor contribution from ionizing radiation) produce highly reactive free radicals.
   These can readily react with and damage other molecules: in some cases the body uses this to fight infection. In other cases, the damage may be to the body's own cells. The presence of
extremely easily oxidisable compounds in the system can "mop up" free radicals before they damage other essential molecules.

Acai; Antioxidant Superfruit

Acai Palm Berries are the most powerful antioxidant fruit known.

How do Dark Chocolate (cocoa powder) and
Acai fit into the Antioxidant picture?

Both Dark Cocoa powder and the Acai Berry are at the top of the 'A' list of antioxidant foods. Natural Cocoa powder is at the top of the list of antioxidants with a score on the ORAC Scale (measures Antioxidant potential) of 26,000. The Acai Berry is the powerhouse of the fruit world with a score of 18,500.

Antioxidants fight Free Radicals, so what is a free radical?

Our body naturally produces chemicals called free radicals that cause irreversible damage (oxidation) to cells. They can leave your body vulnerable to advanced aging, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and degenerative diseases like arthritis.
Although your body has a natural antioxidant mechanism that protects you from most cell damage,
certain environmental factors, like cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes, radiation, excessive sunlight, certain drugs, and stress, can increase free radicals. And, ironically, so can the healthy habit of exercising.
Fortunately, many substances in food act as antioxidants. Scientists have conducted studies, particularly on vitamins E and C, and the nutrient beta-carotene, to find out what role they play in protecting your health.
