# Amazing Grass Antioxidant Greensuperfood Benefits - Link: https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/05/amazing-grass-antioxidant-greensuperfood-benefits/ - Published: 2011-05-11T22:34:32-04:00 - Author: greenlivingguy ## Amazing Grass Antioxidant GREENSuperFood Adds a Powerful Boost Amazing Grass fans now have another reason to enjoy antioxidant rich, GREENSuperFood. The popular greens powder adds an extra antioxidant boost with 15,000 ORAC units per serving. Moreover, the Amazing Grass formula combines five antioxidant greensuperfood blends from fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Together, these ingredients help the body defend against free radicals. In addition, the blend supports healthy skin, brain function, and the immune system. ### 15,000 ORAC Units in One Scoop Just one scoop of GREENSuperFood Antioxidant & Greens Powder delivers 15,000 ORAC units. By comparison, a 3.5-ounce serving of broccoli contains about 900 ORAC units, while the same [amount of carrots contains](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/mercury-cfls-amount-myths-vs-reality/) about 210. However, Amazing Grass designed the formula to go beyond a single antioxidant source. Instead, the company uses Spectra Total ORAC. According to Amazing Grass, the blend targets five major types of free radicals rather than focusing on only one. “Unlike other ORAC concentrates that focus only on one of the five most commonly found free radicals, we use Spectra Total ORAC to target all five major types,” said Todd Habermehl, co-founder of Amazing Grass. Furthermore, the antioxidant blend complements the greens already found in GREENSuperFood. Therefore, [consumers get greens](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/12/green-automotive-gift-ideas-for-eco-conscious-consumers/) and antioxidant ingredients together in one convenient scoop. “These antioxidant superheroes of nutrition help support your body’s natural ability to neutralize free radicals,” Habermehl added. “They make for a perfect sidekick to our popular GREENSuperFood.” Ultimately, the new formula gives GREENSuperFood [fans an easy way](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/08/heating-and-cooling-simple-ways-to-save-some-bucks/) to add more plant-based ingredients and antioxidants to their daily routine. ![source:%20Amazing%20Grass antioxidant greensuperfood](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy. com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/39CCC929-F7A3-4A6B-A554-B38C48B9B23B.png?resize=300% 2C200&quality=50&ssl=1) ### Free Radicals get Leveled: What Are Free Radicals? Free radicals form [naturally](https://greenlivingguy.com/2026/07/rare-earth-energy-mining-for-a-clean-energy-future/) as the body uses oxygen to produce energy. During this normal process, cells create unstable molecules. These molecules contain unpaired electrons. As a result, they can react quickly with other molecules around them. In addition, outside factors can increase the production of free radicals. Air pollution, cigarette smoke, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can all contribute to oxidative stress. When free radicals build up faster than the body can manage them, they may damage cells. For example, they can react with DNA, proteins, and fats. Over time, this oxidative damage can interfere with normal cellular functions. ## How Antioxidants Help Fortunately, the body has its own antioxidant defense systems. Antioxidants can interact with free radicals and help stabilize them. Therefore, they can reduce potentially damaging chain reactions inside cells. Moreover, certain vitamins and [plant compounds](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/02/plant-compounds-may-yield-new-class-of-safe-pesticides/) can act as antioxidants. These include vitamin C, vitamin E, and various phytonutrients found [naturally in fruits and vegetables](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/03/benefits-of-growing-your-own-food/). However, antioxidants do not simply “remove” [every free radical from the body](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/03/test-drive-results-plus-recycling-30000-f-150-bodies-every-month/). In fact, free radicals also play useful roles in normal biological processes. Instead, the body [works to maintain a healthy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/09/putting-people-back-working-doesnt-require-sacrificing-healthy-environment/) balance between free radicals and antioxidant defenses. Ultimately, that balance matters. A varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and other [plant](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/04/7-surprising-health-benefits-of-growing-plants/) foods can provide antioxidant nutrients while supporting overall health. ### More Greens in that Superfood With more organic greens per gram, the GREENSuperFood from Amazing [Grass has always been popular](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/04/10-popular-types-of-grasses-to-plant-in-all-season/) with health conscious consumers.  Its unique and potent combination of nature’s most nourishing, cleansing & rebuilding vitamins and minerals offers organic whole food nutrients without fillers at grower direct pricing.  All Amazing Grass [products are made in the USA](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/12/think-launches-production-in-indiana-usa/) and are non-dairy, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free and do not contain soy lecithin fillers.
