The crown jewel of Rio Vida along side the TF Blend is the mysterious Acai berry, which has a ORAC score of 1027. (highest ORAC value ever reported for a fruit or vegetable to this date!) and when coupled with the Unique and Patented Transfer Factor it is a miracle because not only do you have the ORAC score but you have the Tested NK [Natural Killer Cell] which stimulates the immune systen and increases NK cell activity by over 437% and that is 500% greater than the nearest product tested..produced by the TF and no other product has that.

You might ask, what is ORAC, what does it do with my health?

To understand the whole story, let’s start with “Free Radicals”.

A “Free Radical” is a highly chemically reactive atom, molecule or molecular fragment with a free or unpaired electron.
Why we don’t like “Free Radicals”? Because they can damage healthy cells! These molecules are unstable and highly reactive. Cascade of chemical reactions occurs when a free radical reacts with another molecule in order to gain an electron. The molecule that loses an electron to the free radical then becomes a free radical, repeating the process until the energy of the free radical is spent, or the reaction is stopped by an antioxidant. In biological systems, this cascade can damage important molecules like DNA.

Many forms of cancer are thought to be the result of reactions between free radicals and DNA, resulting in mutations.

Some of the symptoms of aging such as atherosclerosis are also attributed to free-radical induced oxidation of many of the chemicals making up the body. TF Cardo is a special formulation targeted to Heart health.

Free radicals are produced in many different ways such as, normal metabolic processes, ultraviolet radiation from the sun and the breakdown in the body of spoiled fats. So, we can’t avoid them, but there is a way to stop them — antioxidants.

So how does it work, and what are the benefits?

Antioxidants work by donating an electron to unstable free radicals, antioxidants neutralize their harmful effects, and they remain still stable after donating the electron.

Research suggests that consumption of antioxidant-rich foods reduces damage to cells and biochemicals from free radicals. This may slow down, prevent, or even reverse certain diseases that result from cellular damage, and perhaps even slow down the natural aging process. This is the basis for the free-radical theory of aging.

How do we know which food is more effective than another in terms of antioxidant efficiency then?

Here we introduce ORAC, which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity.
ORAC is a way to measure the antioxidant capacity of a food. Foods with high ORAC values are desirable for their ability to inhibit free radical activity. The ORAC measurement was developed by a scientist at the National Institute of Aging in 1992 and has proven to be a valuable tool in quantifying health benefits associated with consuming fruits, vegetables and other antioxidant-containing foods and supplements.

The range of ORAC for common fruits was around 1.40 (watermelon) to 95 (cranberry).
A very recent paper by Schauss et al. published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reported an extremely high total ORAC value of 1027 for a freeze-dried fruit pulp and skin powder from the Acai berry (Euterpe oleracea) (Schauss et al. 2006). This is the highest ORAC value ever reported for a fruit or vegetable to this date.

You know what, Rio Vida uses the exactly same technology to process Acai berries (freeze and dried), it’s called Opti-Acai. The nutrients of the Acai berry is best preserved in this way.

I think there’s enough information for today, why don’t you sit back and pour yourself a glass now? After reading all these, you know what you are having in your hand, is a truly amazing product.
