What are ORAC Units? The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) unit, ORAC value, or "ORAC score" is a method of measuring the antioxidant capacity of different foods and supplements. It was developed by scientists at the National Institutes of Health. While the exact relationship between the ORAC value of a food and its health benefit has not been established, it is believed that foods higher on the ORAC scale will more effectively neutralize free radicals. According to the free-radical theory of aging, this will slow the oxidative processes and free radical damage that can contribute to age-related degeneration and disease.

"All nutrients, including calcium, must be in a chemical form called "cis" molecules. If a nutrient is artificially manufactured or heated above 118 degrees F. it will most likely be in a "trans" form, which is the opposite of "cis". It looks just like the "cis" form, only it is backwards in its shape. The body can only use "cis" molecules, "trans" molecules can clog up the places in your intestine where the nutrients are absorbed and prevent the goo "cis" molecules from getting in. Most calcium supplements, as well as milk and other dairy products such as cheese are heated and much of the calcium and other nutrients are rendered useless. Milk is heated, or pasteurized, in order to kill off the bad bacteria and other harmful substances. In the process, much of the good bacteria and nutrients are also destroyed. In fact, if you were to feed a baby cow pasteurized cow's milk, it would die in two weeks. This is an animal that is designed to drink its mother's milk. When the heating occurs it makes the milk a toxin, even to a baby cow."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Astaxanthin (pronounced /æstəˈzænθɨn/) is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes. It is classified as a xanthophyll, which means "yellow leaves". Like many carotenoids, it is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. Astaxanthin is found in microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, crustaceans, and the feathers of some birds.
