Saberry - Antioxidant Potential of Saberry

Antioxidant Potential of Saberry™ :

Based on scientific evidence, daily antioxidant intake should increase to 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day to reach a significant antioxidant capacity in blood plasma and other tissues. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), current intake is about 1,200 units per day.

Brunswick Laboratory in Wareham, Massachusetts, evaluated the power of Saberry™ using state-of-the-art tests. The suite of ORAC assays - ORAC, HORAC, NORAC, SORAC and SOAC – are validated tests to measure broad-spectrum antioxidant power. They are recognized as the premier antioxidant tests available today to the industry, and are used extensively by leading manufacturers.

The ORAC unit is expressed as micromole per gram or liter. The ORAC analysis provides a measure of the scavenging capacity of antioxidants against "peroxyl radical" which is one of the most common reactive oxygen species (ROS) found in the body.

ORAC Values of Saberry™
Assay	Units
ORAC_hydro(H -ORAC) (µmol TE/100g)	267,800
ORAC_lipo (L-ORAC) (µmol TE/100g)	400
ORAC_total (H-ORAC+ L-ORAC) (µmol TE/100g)	268,200
HORAC (µmol CAE/100g )	34,500
NORAC (µmol TE/100g )	90,400
SOD (k unitsSODeq/100g)	10,200
SOAC (µmol VitE/100g)	135,100

Saberry™ is a leader among water soluble phytonutrients in terms of broad spectrum antioxidant activity.

Broad spectrum antioxidant activity is based on the values of

ORACTotal - [hydrophilic (H-ORAC) and lipophilic (L-ORAC) - Peroxyl Radical Absorbance Capacity) expressed as Trolox Equivalent
HORAC (Hydroxyl Radical Absorbance Capacity) expressed as Caffeic Acid Equivalent
NORAC (Peroxynitrite Radical Absorbance Capacity) expressed as Trolox Equivalent
SOAC (Singlet Oxygen Absorbance Capacity) expressed as alpha-tocopherol Equivalent
SOD (Superoxide Dismutase equivalent activity, corresponding to Superoxide Radical Absorbance Capacity)

Based on the enhanced antioxidant potential of β-glucogallin over ascorbic acid as evident in the above graphs, and the inconsistent presence of ascorbic acid in Amla in general, the researchers at Sabinsa concluded that it would be pertinent and more accurate to concentrate on the antioxidant potential of β-glucogallin.
