RICH in Antioxidants
Antioxidants: OMEGA SMARTS mission is to practice evidence-based
formulation where scientific and health literature is monitored and evaluated to assure the most wholesome and healthful ingredients to the consumer. Our bars are formulated to be low glycemic and to supply a healthy dose of whole food *antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids and fiber, all needed to achieve and maintain good health.OMEGA SMART BARS have been tested at Brunswick Labs for their ORAC value( ORAC certifies a foods total antioxidant power including vitamins, flavonoids, phytochemicals and maybe some substances we don't yet recognize.
*Antioxidants neutralize free radicals which are harmful substances that arise as a result of chemical reactions in the body or else are taken in from the outside and thus prevent the destruction of cells.
*Antioxidants help to protect our genes from cancer and degenerative diseases.
Tufts researchers say we need to take in 3000 to 5000 ORAC units daily in our diet, yet the average person takes in only about 1700 units. Omega Smart bars supply in the range of 2500 units which represents about 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.
*Omega Smart bars have 10 times more polyphenol antioxidants than a serving of the best dried fruit, 7 x more than the best fresh fruit, 4 x more than a cup of green tea and 10 x more than a glass of red wine.
