What exactly are antioxidants?

Every day we are bombarded with all kinds of advertisements and recommendations promoting a healthy lifestyle, and antioxidants are the stars.

But what are antioxidants? How many of us understand their role and care about their presence in our daily diet?

The story begins with an ideal metabolism in which every chemical reaction is well defined. In reality, however, especially under the influence of environmental radiation, free radicals appear in the body. They are very reactive and intervene in metabolic processes, disrupting them. Antioxidants are the miracle compounds that can neutralize such free radicals, leaving the body to function on the known path and thus have an important role in maintaining health.

However, not all antioxidants are equally effective. This is why the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale was created.

At Kofi Ti we fell in love with cascara (the pulp of the coffee cherry), number 4 on the list of superfoods and the most powerful natural antioxidant available (80 times more powerful than goji).
We offer you cascara in 3 variants, all processed as little as possible, so as not to lose the antioxidant properties of the raw material - raw , ready to drink and concentrated .
