Definitions & Benefits
Definitions of Shakti Life Ingredients
Adaptogenic
Adaptogenic refers to natural substances—usually herbs, roots, and mushrooms—that help the body resist and adapt to physical, mental, and emotional stress. It helps the body to modulate the body's stress response system and returns the body's physiological functions to an even, stable baseline, whether that means calming a hyperactive system or boosting a sluggish one.
Antioxidant
An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing, preventing, or delaying the chemical process of oxidation in other substances. In biology and nutrition, antioxidants act as a vital protective shield by neutralizing free radicals, which are highly unstable and reactive molecules that can cause severe damage to your cell membranes, DNA, and proteins
Anthocyanins
Anthocyanins are water-soluble plant pigments that give fruits, vegetables, and flowers their vibrant red, purple, blue, and black colors. They belong to a larger family of plant-based chemicals known as flavonoids, which act as powerful antioxidants that help the body fight off cell-damaging free radicals
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are a diverse group of plant chemicals (phytochemicals). As powerful antioxidants, they help your body combat daily toxins, reduce inflammation, and may lower the risk of chronic health conditions like heart disease and dementia.
Nootropics
Nootropics are substances that can enhance cognitive functions like memory, focus, creativity, and motivation. Sometimes referred to as "brain boosters."
Polyphenol
A polyphenol is a natural micronutrient found in plants that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the human body. Neutralizes cell damage by fighting unstable molecules called free radicals. Reduce inflammation: lower chronic inflammation linked to diseases. Protect against illness: by lowering risks of heart disease, diabetes, and cancers. Support gut health: acting as fuel for beneficial gut bacteria.
ORAC Score
The ORAC Score (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is a method developed by scientists at the National Institute of Health and Aging (NIH) to measure the antioxidant capacity of different foods.
Higher ORAC scores means greater antioxidant capacity to neutralize harmful free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that can cause harm in the body.
According to the free-radical theory of ageing and disease, a high antioxidant intake from foods, will slow the oxidative processes and free radical damage that contributes to age-related degeneration and disease.
This measurement tells you how many antioxidants are in a food. It stands for micromoles of Trolox Equivalents per 100 grams.
μmol (Micromole): A very small scientific unit used to count the number of molecules.
TE (Trolox Equivalent): A standard measurement used in labs to compare the power of different antioxidants.
100g (100 grams): The standard portion size used to test the food.
