Mojoba Health Supplements Antioxidant Activity

Mojoba Intelligent Nutrition

Antioxidant activity
If you want to stay healthy, you need to feed your body properly. Although it is recommended to eat several servings of fruits and vegetables, the food pyramid is considered by many to be inadequate for individuals who are trying to maintain their optimum health. So we need supplements which will provide the entire essential nutrients needed by our body.

Mojoba is recommended as nutrient supplement because it helps digest the food by supplying the minerals for effective digestion. This will help your body to totally absorb all the food nutrients. Mojoba health supplement provides a rich and rare combination of zeatin, quercetin, β-sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol. Mojoba is very important for its medicinal value.

Oxidative by-products of normal metabolism cause extensive damage to DNA, protein, and lipid. This damage is a major contributor to aging and to degenerative diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune-system decline, brain dysfunction and cataracts.

Research is increasingly showing that those who eat antioxidant-rich foods reap health benefits. Mojoba supplements can boost antioxidant levels. Mojoba contains 32 antioxidants that helps the cells neutralize the free radicals due to oxidative stress.

Antioxidants are also involved in the prevention of cellular damage — the common pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases. Athletes have a keen interest because of health concerns and the prospect of enhanced performance and/or recovery from exercise. Increased intake of vitamin E is a protection against exercise induced oxidative damage. Mojoba contains Vitamin E that neutralizes these damaging conditions.

Studies have shown that Mojoba Health Supplement has a marked antioxidant capacity, both water-soluble and fat-soluble, preventing and combating the formation of free radicals. Mojoba contains substantial quantities of flavonoids and proanthocyanidins, which are associated with antioxidant, fever-reducing, pain-relieving, and spasm-inhibiting activities. With an ORAC value of over 50,000u/100g, Mojoba has an antioxidant level more than double that of goji berries, and more than six times that of cranberries, blueberries and blackberries.

Antioxidants are important for:

Preventing degenerative diseases

Increases ability to absorb calcium and iron

Maintenances metabolic processes

Synthesis of steroidal hormones and connective tissue

Assists neuro-transmitters

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).
