This summary is designed to display the various Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of several commonly purchased nutritional supplements. The ORAC score is a definitive test for assessing the antioxidant strength of potential antioxidant compounds. The higher the score, the stronger the antioxidant capability of the compound.

Studies at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston suggest that consuming fruits and vegetables with a high-ORAC value may help slow the aging process in both body and brain. One “serving” of fresh fruits and vegetables has been given an ORAC value of 800.

The tests were carried out by the leading antioxidant research lab in the US, Brunswick Labs. The chart above is a summary of the results.

One ounce of Immunotec Tart Cherry TM packs more antioxidant power than its 5 competitors COMBINED: More antioxidant power than 1 ounce of Sea Silver TM PLUS 1 ounce of Tahitian Noni juice TM PLUS 1 ounce of Goji Juice TM PLUS 1 ounce of Xango juice TM PLUS 1 ounce of Berry Young juice TM PLUS 1 ounce of Eniva Vibe TM.

Studies continue to show the many health benefits that daily consumption of fruits can provide. Because the products we sell are so effective and are natural products - not drugs, the FDA will not allow us to publish studies, even those performed by the USDA, with disease claims related to various fruits. You will have to do your own research and draw your own conclusions. One website with very good testimonials and research related to fruit consumption is:

Recent Studies

Brunswick Laboratories, Wareham, MA, recently conducted extensive nutraceutical evaluations on Montmorency tart cherry products. Dr. Boxin Ou, principal research scientist at Brunswick Laboratories and one of the leading scientists in the U.S. on phytochemicals in plant foods, discovered that not only do tart cherries have high ORAC values, but they also contain compounds called SOD (super oxide dismutatse). SODs act as super scavengers of dangerous free radicals throughout the body. This is a significant discovery because very few natural foods contain SOD and the human body is often lacking SOD.

ORAC value of the top twelve fruits
The ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) test accurately quantifies the antioxidant capacities of foods by taking into account the fact that most natural products are a complex mix of phytochemicals of which many are antioxidants. Totals below are per 100 grams of the fruit.

1. Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate 12,800
2. Dried Tart Cherries 6,800
3. Prunes 5,770
4. Blueberries 2,400
5. Blackberries 2,036
6. Frozen Tart Cherries 2,033
7. Canned Waterpack Tart Cherries 1,700
8. Strawberries 1,540

Montmorency Tart Cherries from which we derive Immunotec Research’s Cherry Concentrate™ are perhaps nature’s most nutritionally dense food. They contain a wide variety (at least 17 different antioxidant compounds) of powerful antioxidants and phyto-chemicals unmatched by any other fruit as measured by the scientifically validated ORAC method. In fact one ounce contains a whopping 5,000 ORAC units! That's why you only need to take 2 teaspoons per day as a serving! ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (the ability to scavenge free radicals). According to researchers at the Human Aging Institute, ingesting 5000 ORAC units per day substantially reduces your risk of coronary heart disease, cancer, and other age related illnesses.

Additionally, tart cherries contain compounds that may help relieve the pain of arthritis, gount, fibromyalgia and headaches.

NUTRITION FACTS

A fat-free, cholesterol-free and very low sodium natural food, each 80 calorie serving provides 19 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of protein in addition to 8 mg of calcium and 202 mg of potassium with 68 Brix soluble solid content.

Additionally Immunotec Research’s Cherry Concentrate™ contains melatonin* (see study below), which may help balance circadian rhythms for proper sleep plus anti-inflammatory anothocyanins (pigments) and bioflaveonids that may assist the body to relieve pain associated with arthritis and gout. Our 100% pure, non-pasteurized and guaranteed non-gmo concentrate also naturally contains perillyl alcohol, a natural compound that is powerful in reducing the incidence of all types of cancer as well as ellagic acid. Clinical tests conducted at the Hollings Cancer Institute at MUSC shows consuming ellagic acid may aid the body in cancer prevention. Isoqueritrin and queritrin (flavenoids) are part of the Cherry Concentrate™’s phyto-chemical profile that assist the body in eliminating by-products of oxidative stress thereby slowing the aging process. These cherries are truly nature’s most powerful combination of cell rejuvenating antioxidants!

Noni, Gogi, Berry Young, Eniva Vibe, and Mangosteen simply cannot compare! If you want to give your body the most nutritionally potent fruit juice you can find, discover Immunotec’s Cherry Concentrate™. It tastes great and your body will thank you for it!!

Study on melatonin…

Agric Food Chem. 2001 Oct; 49 (10): 4898-902

Detection and quantification of the antioxidant melatonin in Montmorency and Balaton tart cherries (Prunus cerasus).

The antioxidant melatonin was recently identified in a variety of edible plants and seeds in high concentrations. In plants, as in animals, melatonin is believed to function as a free radical scavenger and possibly in photoperiodism. In this study, melatonin was detected and quantified in fresh-frozen Balaton and Montmorency tart cherries (Prunus cerasus) using high-performance liquid chromatography. Both cherry species contain high levels of melatonin compared to the melatonin concentrations in the blood of mammals.

Montmorency cherries (13.46 +/- 1.10 ng/g) contain approximately 6 times more melatonin than do Balaton cherries (2.06 +/- 0.17 ng/g). Neither the orchard of origin nor the time of harvest influenced the amount of melatonin in fresh cherries. The implication of the current findings is that consuming cherries could be an important source of dietary melatonin inasmuch as melatonin is readily absorbed when taken orally. Also, previously published data and the results presented here show that melatonin is not only endogenously produced but also present in the diet.
