A huge buzzword in the Network Marketing "juice world" is ORAC value. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Some of these companies claim that they have ORAC values of 90,000 plus, however they are not telling you that 90,000 plus is the amount in the entire bottle, not per serving. USDA scientists report that the average American takes in 1,200-1,500 ORAC, while experts say the body needs 3,000-5,000 units daily in order to get meaningful anti-oxidant protection.
Here is a breakdown of ORAC values:
Tomato Juice: 128 ORAC per oz.
Orange Juice: 223 ORAC per oz.
Cranberry Juice: 328 ORAC per oz.
Noni Juice: 427 ORAC per oz.
Mangosteen Juice: 627 ORAC per oz.
Ageless Xtra from Univera LifeSciences: 4,500 ORAC per oz. of conentrate
Interesting, but not surprising, Monavie associates claims to have the highest level of ORAC on the planet, but I couldn’t find a single test showing how much ORAC Monavie contains.

Xango rocks over Noni. I've had much more results from xango juice. But just one mans experience. thankyou.
Our family has experienced numerous health benefits from Xango. We take it faithfully everyday. It tastes great and my 3 year old LOVES IT! As long as she takes 2 ounces daily, her eczema is non-existant. If we run out, it only takes 3-4 days for the eczema to flair up. Needless to say, I save alot of money by not needing to buy perscription steroidal ointments, all of which have side effects. Xango has no side effects and is great for virtually every system of the body. Can you tell I am passionate about this product! I am able to stay home with my daughter as a result of the added income we have generated from this incredible home based business opportunity. This product truly is a gift from God!

Thank you for your email. ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) is an assay that measures the antioxidant activity of a substance. That is, it quantifies the degree and length of time it takes to inhibit the action of an oxidizing agent, specifically oxygen radicals known to cause damage to the delicate machinery of living cells.
Coming from a mixture of 19 fruits, the MonaVie blends provide a wide spectrum of antioxidants and phytonutrients that will assist you in maintaining good health by inhibiting harmful free radicals. The açai berry plays a significant role in this process as being the fruit with the highest recorded ORAC score of 1027 per gram amongst all other fruits and vegetables tested to date. There is no question as to why so much focus has been on the açai berry in the MonaVie blends. Based on some information provided about other fruits, it is important to pay attention to the amount tested when ORAC scores are presented. Many times these scores are published for a 100 gram sample as opposed to a 1 gram sample that MonaVie provides. Below is an example of how this may be presented, and how to determine a score that would be on the same scale that MonaVie provides.
Fruits ORAC Score (per 100 grams) ORAC Score (per 1 gram)
Goji Berries 25,300 / 100 = 253
Black Raspberries 7,700 / 100 = 77
Prunes 5,770 / 100 = 57.7
There are approximately 1000 to 1200 ORAC units per one ounce of MonaVie juice. The body can utilize approximately 5,000 ORAC units per day. Anymore and the body will simply discard them. If there is anything else that I can help you with please let me know. Have a wonderful day!
Please contact Distributor Support with further questions.

Does anybody have any success stories or testimonials about mangosteen juice and it helping their chronic degenerative disc disease and chronic pain? I'm at the end of my rope? Thanks……….Michael H.
Michael, If you are at the end of your rope then I would suggest tying a knot and hanging on…oh, and also giving MonaVie a try. Many many, many more testimonials involving pain relief after using MonaVie than mangosteen juice.
MiVitality Berry Radical from ONE group contains 1448 ORAC per gram. It is unique for many reasons being certified organic, comes in portion controlled sachets to prevent oxidisation, does not require refridgeration, is a freeze dried powder with no dilution, no additives and no preservatives. A box of Berry Radical which lasts a a month is the equivalant in ORAC to 6 bottles of YL Berry Young, 12 Bottles of Xango, 17 bottles of Himalyan Goji juice and 41 bottles of Tahitian Noni Juice. Compared with the suggestion to take a bottle of MonaVie weekly at $40-45 each, Berry Rdaical is more value for money than any of the above products it would appear based on the maths.
Cheers Kristine
