New Page 1 The Trolox equivalent number for AquaVivos = 7,701 per gram.
Multiply 7,701 by 29.57 grams and you get an ORAC score per fluid ounce of 227,718, but again, this is measured in the concentrate before it is diluted into a gallon of water. Its unfortunate that few people in the supplement industry are comparing the ORAC score with total phenolics – which to me is more important than just looking at the ORAC score alone. The phenolics score primarily measures the VEGETABLE BASED POLYPHENOLS responsible for the ORAC score – the reason this is so important is that certain chemically-enhanced (enriched), concentrated FRUIT JUICES may well have artificially increased their ORAC potentials by adding specific chemicals and/or anti-oxidating preservatives vs. MOTHER NATURE’S vegetable recipe. It is very likely that the phenolic count of other products would likely be much lower than pure and natural berry juices, comparatively speaking. AquaVivos phenolics measure 1,360.12 per liter, which means that the ORAC count comes primarily from vegetable concentrates as opposed to chemicals!! Dr. Ott
