Many studies have produced mixed results for the protective power of individually tested antioxidant vitamins. Evidence suggests that it is the combination or synergism of Whole Food Actives, such as phytonutrients, flavanoids and enzymes that have far greater protective power than isolated vitamins such as C, E, and beta carotene. The Whole Food Actives found in Encapsulated Juice have very high levels of antioxidant protection as measured by the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. ORAC measures the degree to which a product inhibits the action of free radical agents and how long the inhibiting lasts. Encapsulated Juice out perfoms all other juice powder products when subjected to the scrutiny of nutritional science.

TAKING ENCAPSULATED JUICE

A one-month supply of Encapsulated Juice is packaged in two bottles. You simply take two Encapsulated Juice Fruit Caps in the morning and two Encapsulated Juice Veggie Caps in the evening. We recommend that children eight years and older take one Fruit Cap in the morning and one Veggie Cap in the evening. When taken each day you are supporting your body with the most powerful Whole Food Actives ever derived from raw fruits and vegetables. This encapsulated super food is the foundation for anyone's health and wellness program, whether you are male or female, young or old.

A CERTIFIED LABORATORY ANALYSIS

An Independent Comparison of Anti-Oxidant Values Found in Fruit & Vegetable Capsules

ORAC TEST
An Overview
The test employed to measure the degree of antioxidant protection of four products containing fruits and vegetables is called the ORAC Assay. ORAC or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity was developed at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts to measure the level of antioxidant protection of a product as well as the duration of the protection. ORAC measures the degree which a product, in this case fruit and vegetable capsules, inhibit the action of oxidative agents and the length of time this inhibitor occurs. The ORAC Assay integrates the strength and duration of antioxidant protection for a product into a single numerical value. The ORAC Assay has been shown to highly correlate with the level and time of protection in cells, body tissues and blood levels. In other words, there is a near perfect correlation between the ORAC value and the antioxidant and immune system protection in the body. This is important because oxidative stress has been demonstrated to accelerate the aging process in both =cells and blood vessels. Oxidative stress also increases the risk of certain types of cancer, coronary heart disease and many other heather maladies.

Methodology
Two encapsulated fruit and two encapsulated vegetable products were evaluated. Two sealed bottles were labeled NutraJuice TM Fruit Caps and NutraJuice TM Vegetable Caps. The other two sealed bottles tested were fruit and vegetable capsules from another leading brand. All four products had been manufactured within sixty (60) days from the time of the test. Each sample was assigned lab identification number. The results of the ORAC Assay for each product were expressed in micro mole trolox equivalent per gram. For each product the tests were performed four times to produce average or mean values. The standard deviation, on average, approximated a relatively low 6% of the ORAC values; with the standard deviation being proportionately larger the lower the ORAC value.

Results
ORAC quantification was achieved after performing the test four times with each product (16 total samples).

The Encapsulated Juice Fruit capsules registered 3.53 times higher than the ORAC results obtained from the other leading brand fruit capsules. Correspondingly, the Encapsulated Juice Vegetable capsules had an ORAC value which was 7.29 times the ORAC value of the other leading brand vegetable capsules.
