"High-ORAC† Complex"
30 vegetarian capsules

For decades, health-conscious consumers relied on conventional
antioxidants (such as vitamins E and C) to help suppress damaging free
radicals. While thousands of published studies support the benefits of
conventional antioxidants, scientists have discovered that extracts from
brightly colored fruits and vegetables possess far greater antioxidant
capacity.1-4 In fact, human
epidemiological studies show that those who regularly consume these
potent plant-based polyphenols and anthocyanins remain far healthier in
their advanced years. If you're not eating the recommended five servings
of fruits and vegetables a day, in particular the dark-skinned
varieties, you could be lacking optimal antioxidant protection against
toxic free radicals.
To measure the antioxidant strengths of food and other substances,
scientists use what is called the ORAC score. A higher score means the
food is better at protecting the body's cells from free radical-induced
damage. So, the higher a food's ORAC score, as in dark-skinned fruits
and vegetables, the better it is for you. However, problems with
availability, the perishable nature, and the cost of obtaining a wide
variety of high-ORAC fruits and vegetables on a daily basis mean they
are often difficult to get in the typical American diet.
To overcome these issues, Life Extension offers Berry Complete
formula, which provides a concentrated blend of fruit and vegetable
extracts that have some of the highest ORAC scores around. Each capsule
is packed with scientifically proven polyphenols and anthocyanins from
seasonal and perishable fruits and legumes that are typically the
highest in ORAC values. Just one capsule provides the antioxidant
capacity of more than 50% of the daily recommended five a day intake of
fruits and vegetables. Berry Complete therefore provides an affordable
way of getting powerful antioxidant protection from a variety of
colorful fruits and vegetables into your diet to help fight free radical
damage and promote healthy aging.
