Why is KonaRed Important?

KonaRed™Coffee Fruit naturally has an extraordinary level of polyphenols (antioxidants) with protective benefits to help us prevent disease, resist sun damage and delay aging (by neutralizing free radicals).

Not all antioxidants are the same! It is generally believed that KonaRed™ polyphenols (antioxidants) contain properites that:
• Slow aging.
• Fight inflammation.
• Neutralize toxic free radicals and fight free radical damage.
• Provide exceptional nutrition.
• Provide anti-viral and anti-bacterial benefits (see 5 top-tier phenolics below).
• Help protect against systemic oxidative stress.
• Help resist sun damage.
• Boost mood and energy.
• Curbs apetite.
• Help reduce the incidence of oxidative pathologies such as coronary heart disease, inflammation and possibly even certain cancers.
• Provide health benefits associated with glucose management, Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, depression and anxiety and oral health.

KonaRed™ Coffee Fruit boasts an ORAC score of 47,100 per 100 grams – testing significantly higher than any known plant product including the famous antioxidant blueberry (only 6,100 per 100 grams). What is an ORAC score? Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples, jointly developed by the National Institutes on Aging and the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. It is believed that high ORAC foods possess the power to slow down or prevent detrimental changes to the body and brain caused by aging and illness (free-radical damage).

KonaRed™ is tested by accreditied Brunswick Laboratories certified program – an authoritative, third-party quality assurance system that issues certification to products that have met strict criteria for their ORAC tests. Brunswick Labs has designed a program to help consumers cut through the confusion surrounding ORAC scores and antioxidant values. KonaRed™ has a certified ORAC score of 47,100 per 100 grams.

The antioxidant capacity of KonaRed™ has also been tested through the new CAP-e (Cell-based Antioxidant Protection in Erythrocytes) method. The CAP-e method tests the bioavailability of antioxidants at the cellular level. It is a cell-based assay for the evaluation of whether antioxidants in natural products are capable of penetrating and protecting live cells from oxidative damage. We are proud to confirm that KonaRed™ Coffee Fruit does have antioxidant bioavailability at a cellular level.

KonaRed™ is also unique in that it naturally contains 5 Top-Tier Phenolic Acids in a “Natural-by-Nature” Combination:
• Chlorogenic Acid-Antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties
• Caffeic Acid-Antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties
• Ferulic Acid-Antioxidant and reactive toward free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS)
• Quinic Acid-Antioxidant with anti-viral properties
• Trigonelline-Antioxidant with anti-bacterial properties
