HALO™ Product FAQs

Q: What is O.R.A.C.?
A: ORAC stands for “Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.” This scientific test measures how much antioxidant potency you are getting. The higher the ORAC, the more potent the antioxidant and the better it is at scavenging free radicals that damage your body. HALO™ Leaf of Life was tested by Brunswick Laboratories, the leader in ORAC testing.

For example, an Acai product has an ORAC score of 23,000 per liter while HALO™ Leaf of Life scores 140,000 per liter!!

Q: How should I take HALO™ Leaf of Life?
A: HALO™ is a drink concentrate that can be added to your favorite juice (e.g. cranberry, raspberry, orange, pomegranate, etc.) at a ratio of 1 part concentrate to 8 parts juice. HALO™ is also a great addition to smoothies or any of your other favorite beverages. Most people find it beneficial to take with food.

Q: What gives the product its sweetness?
A: The product is sweetened naturally with crystalline fructose. Fructose is a naturally occurring sugar found in fruits, berries, and honey. HALO™ uses no artificial sweeteners.

Q: Is crystalline fructose the same as high fructose corn syrup?
A: No. High fructose corn syrup contains the complex carbohydrate dextrose bound to fructose.

Q: Is fructose safe for diabetics?
A: Yes. The American Diabetes Association policy states that fructose, due to its low glycemic index, is acceptable in the management of diabetes. Eating fructose causes a significantly lower rise in blood sugar than eating an equal amount of sucrose (table sugar) or other simple sugars. Many research studies have shown this to be true for people with both Insulin Dependent and Non-Insulin Dependent diabetes.

Q: Where is the HALO™ product manufactured?
A: The finished product is manufactured in the United States, however some raw materials we source come from other parts of the world where they grow in their natural habitat (e.g. “Fresh Olive Leaf Complex” from Australia, “artic root” from Scandinavia and “kombu” from Japan), but all ingredients must meet HALO™’s rigid specifications and requirements during manufacturing to ensure high quality and safety.

Q: Are you aware of any contraindications (interactions) with HALO™ and prescription medications?
A: No. The product formulation was specifically developed for optimal health to benefit the most people, avoiding any ingredients scientifically known to have interactions with prescription drugs. You should always consult your physician when introducing any nutritional products to your diet.
