Bioflavia is a high source of antioxidants for the maintenance of good health
Bioflavia organic red wine grape skin powder is a totally new and innovative product, which boasts a host of health promoting benefits. The making of Bioflavia starts with organic red wine grape skins sourced solely from Ontario's Niagara Wine Region. The grape skins are put through a comprehensive drying and separating process and then milled into a fine powder. Bioflavia grape skin powder has a high concentration of antioxidants and a fragrant wine-based-aroma and flavour.

A daily 10g serving of Bioflavia has 11,000 ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) Units which provides a powerful boost of health promoting antioxidants. ORAC Units are a measure of the level of antioxidants in various foods and the ability to neutralize the process of oxidation and cell damage caused by free radicals in our bodies.

Bioflavia ORAC Value
Foods can be assigned an ORAC Value which determines the food's antioxidant strength or in other words its ability to neutralize free radicals, the disease-causing molecules that float around in our bodies. The higher the ORAC Value, the more powerful the food is in its disease fighting properties.

To ascertain specific ORAC Values, foods undergo specialized testing and analysis and the findings are measured in mmol/100g. For example, based on a 100g sample size Bioflavia has an ORAC Value of 110,000 Units.

Bioflavia's ORAC Value compares with other common foods such as acai fruit, raspberries, blueberries, goji berries and cranberries which have ORAC Values ranging from 3,290 to 102,700 Units.

If you are looking for a super-boost of antioxidants you need to look no further than Bioflavia!

Stir Bioflavia into a smoothie, juice, mix in yogurt or cereal. Bioflavia is also great in baking brownies, muffins, breads and cooking including stews and meatloaves.

Improving Health through Antioxidants
Ever wonder why an apple turns brown after it is cut open? You are witnessing the destructive effects of oxidation. Like the apple, oxidation or free radicals causes similar harm to the cells in our bodies.

Excessive free radicals impair the functioning of the human body by accelerating the aging process and contributing to many degenerative diseases including cancers, heart disease, diabetes, cataracts, osteoarthritis and Alzheimer's.

Today, there is a large amount o f research suggesting that high dietary intakes of antioxidant rich foods such as fruits and vegetables lower the risk of many of these conditions. Consuming foods with high ORAC Values can fight off free radicals and may help slow the degenerative processes associated with aging and many diseases.

In today's hectic lifestyle it is not always possible to consume the recommended 7-10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
