Antioxidants
Since launching mySmoothie superfruits, we have been asked many questions about anti-oxidants and we'd like to provide you with some more information. Whilst we know a lot about fruits, we have been learning more specifically about the topic. We recently executed further analysis on mySmoothie products, which turned out very positive and high in antioxidant value according to the US standard ORAC.
Superfruits stand for fruits that are high in nutrients and especially in anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants slow down the oxidation process in our body. The oxidation process can create free radicals that damage our cells. Therefore you can say that anti-oxidants indirectly protect our cells and body.
In Europe there is no official way to measure anti-oxidants yet. However in the US there is a system using ORAC values. We are no experts on this subject and we do not make health claims but we believe that anti-oxidants are good for you and from our tests we can see that results show higher values than other smoothie brands.
