Calcium, and Potassium. Acai berries can contain over 30 times the anthocyanin
red pigment of red wine. Anthocyanin, a natural antioxidant have been shown to
reduce pain and inflammation, prevent capillary fragility, thin the blood, stimulate
the release of vasodilators, lower blood pressure, reduce clotting and improve blood
supply to the nervous system, reduces inflammation, and stabilizes collagen and
may benefit the retina. Twelve other flavonoid-like compounds were found in acai
including resveratrol, although at low levels of 1.1 microgram per gram. Acai was
found to have higher “slow-acting” antioxidant components, suggesting a more
sustained antioxidant effect.
Other high ORAC scoring foods include cacao, cherries, prunes, raisins,
blueberries, blackcurrants, kale, spinach, spices, Camu camu, Acerola, Amla,
Aronia, Pomegranate, Bilberry, Mulberry, Jaboticaba, Black Sapote and the
guava genus.

Pycnogenol is a natural plant product made from the bark of the European coastal
pine, Pinus Maritima; used for peak performance and against all disease, illness and
infirmity. Pycnogenol is the most efficient natural free radical scavenger known; it
is 50 times more antioxidant power than vitamin C or E and is said to be is one of
the main 21st century anti-aging substances. Pycnogenol contains 85% to 95% of
a bioflavonoid call proanthocyanidin. These proanthocyanidins make Pycnogenol
the most powerful natural free radical scavenger, antioxidant anti-inflammatory and
anti-mutagen yet discovered. Being water soluble it is absorbed almost instantly and
it passes the blood brain barrier to protect the brain cells. Antioxidant protection
to the brain and central nervous system is a vital consideration in kundalini.
Proanthocyanidins act within the cell membrane where they can neutralize both
water and fat-soluble free radicals. Pycnogenol has the unique ability to bond to
collagen fibers, repairing damage, protects collagen and elastin from destructive
enzymes, prevents inflammation, and improves microcirculation and maintains
vascular integrity. It lowers the activity of the immune cell trigger for inflammation.
Pycnogenol balances stress hormones, which lowers adrenaline and dopamine,
resulting in a decrease of ADHD.

Proanthocyanidins are also found in Grape Seeds. In fact Grape Seed Extract
contains 92-95% proanthocyanidins. The binding of grape seed extract
to phosphatidycholine enhances its biological activity further, making it
three times more effective than pine bark. Research is finding that grape
seed extract inhibits cancer growth and causes apoptosis of cancer cells.
You take 160 mg of Pine Bark Extract or Grape Seed Extract for ten days at first
to reach tissue saturation. Then the dosage can be cut back to about 50 to 60
mgs per day. Pine Bark and Grape Seed are nontoxic and support the body’s own
antioxidant system.
