Mojoba ORAC Values

Mojoba Health Supplement 


ORAC VALUE
One of the popular measures used to compare super foods antioxidant capacity is the ORAC (Oxygen radical absorbance capacity) scale. One recommendation is to intake 6000-10,000 ORAC units per day. This means, for instance for a 2500 calorie a day diet, 11500 ORAC would be required to restore antioxidant capacity. 


To understand how much of a specific food or foods you would need to eat to achieve this, take the number of ORAC units per day you desire (say 10000) and divide by the score of the food or foods. For instance, with bananas, having an ORAC of 8.79, you would need to eat 10000/8.79 = 1137 grams (about 2.5 pounds of bananas).
