Certified Organic BERRY RADICAL Superfood

Mooreganics — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:15:26 +0000

It’s all in the purity of the ingredients (certified organic means certified pure) and the ORAC units.

Our ingredients – organic raw cacao powder, arabica coffee fruit, olive juice, pomegranate, goji, acai, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries…

ORAC units: what they do and why they’re so vitally important:
Understanding Damaging Free Radicals and Why We Need Antioxidants
Oxidation occurs when free radicals (highly reactive, high-energy particles) ricochet wildly throughout the body and damage cells. Free radicals can be produced within the body by natural biological processes or introduced from outside via tobacco smoke, toxins, pollutants, and sub-optimal eating habits. Free radicals are believed to accelerate the progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and age-related diseases. Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables help to neutralise free radicals in our bodies.

The Critical Benefits of ORAC Units to the Health of Our Bodies
ORAC, short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is a standardised measurement of the total antioxidant power of a substance. Antioxidant power is the ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals. The more free radicals a substance can absorb, the higher its ORAC score. Nutritionists recommend that we consume around 5000 ORAC units per day to significantly impact antioxidant activity in the body and reduce free radical damage. One serving (half a cup) of fruits or vegetables provides approximately 500 ORAC units. If you’re not eating at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, you’re not getting the recommended amount of daily ORAC units to mop-up the damage caused by free radicals in your body.

The ORAC (total) score of 1 gram of our Berry Radical antioxidant superfood is 1,175. So one 3.5g serving of Berry Radical contains over 4000 ORAC units! One 105g tub contains 123,375 ORAC units.

Miessence Probiotic Skin Brightener

Mooreganics — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 13:12:33 +0000

Lactic acid is a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid that is fermented from milk or grains and legumes for use in cosmetic products that assist in smoothing and moisturizing the skin. Lactic acid aids in the sloughing of dead skin cells, increasing cellular turnover while hydrating the skin for a fresh and rejuvenated complexion. Lactic acid can also be used for skin problems including acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, and hyperkeratosis (thickening of the skin), and can even be used on sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

Miessence Probiotic Skin Brightener utilizes beneficial probiotic bacteria to ferment organic whole grains and legumes to release nutrients and create a naturally occurring, extremely mild, lactic acid.

Lactic acid has been used in skin care for centuries and is known for:
- diminishing fine lines and wrinkles
- reducing the appearance of age spots
- improving skin texture
- reducing hyper-pigmentation
- stimulating collagen production
- helping break down impurities
- bringing moisture, clarity and vitality to the skin

Directions: Use Probiotic Skin Brightener twice daily (am/pm) after cleansing and before applying Miessence Skin Conditioner. Dispense 1 or 2 pumps onto a cotton wool ball or pad and sweep it gently over the face, throat and decolletage. Avoid getting product in the eyes.

Ingredients: organic lactic acid from naturally fermented and organic wheat grain, agave syrup, adzuki beans, soya beans, organic vanilla planifolia (vanilla) extract.
