plethora of bioactive substances in
foods” - John D. Potter, cancer
epidemiologist at Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center.

antioxidant sources
 Diets high in fruits and
vegetables have many

There are literally thousands of phytonutrients in plants!

6. Why Phytonutrients?
What do they do?
 A part of optimal health
 Supports healthy cell growth
 Antioxidant protection
 Assists the body’s natural
production of protective enzymes
 Supports the immune system

7. Phytonutrients and Antioxidants
 Many phytonutrients are antioxidants
 Antioxidants inactivate free radicals
 Antioxidants help to reduce damage to
cells, lipids and DNA
 A mixture of antioxidants is thought to
offer the most health benefit
 Fruits and vegetables are excellent
sources of antioxidants

8. ORAC
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity
 Is a measure of the total antioxidant
capacity of the product
 The higher the ORAC value, the better it is
at quenching free radicals
 Fruits and vegetables with high ORAC
values have health benefits
 Researchers suggest that ORAC intake
range between 1000-2000 units per day to
promote improved health and decrease the
risk of chronic diseases
 Other researchers suggest intake between
3000-5000 units per day

9. Which fruits and vegetables do I choose?
 Phytonutrient profile of each
plant is unique
 Amount of each phytonutrient
profile varies in different plants
– Important to eat a range of
different fruits and
vegetables to get the full
benefit of the various
phytonutrients

10. Latest Research – Interesting Results!

14. Ellagic Acid
 Protects against DNA damage
 Inhibits activity of selected group of
enzymes – (N-acetyltransferases) – lead to
changes in DNA structure

15. Hesperidin
 Excellent source of
hesperidin
 Together with
diosmin(citrus flavonoid) is
effective in reducing the
severity of varicose veins
 Effective in reducing
hemorrhoids and chronic
venous insufficiency
 Helps support good
cardiovascular performance Orange

16. Hesperidin
 Individuals who drank up to 3 glasses of orange juice
daily increase their HDL levels by 21%, and lower total
cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The positive effects
have been attributed to the hesperidin level in the orange
juice.
