WHY ARE

ANTIOXIDANTS

SO IMPORTANT?


The human body is complex and unique, capable of incredible things when it has what it needs. Many processes in our bodies work to keep us functioning at our best, yet even under optimal circumstances, we are at risk of attack by free radicals. Their effect on cells can have drastic consequences for our health. Antioxidants offer the protection we need to combat the damage they cause which is linked to premature aging and numerous diseases.

ANTIOXIDANTS and your coffee

green coffee



Green (unroasted) coffee beans are packed full of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols. These polyphenols are composed of chlorogenic acids, and studies have shown them to be highly bioavailable in the body.

A large percentage of coffee brands throughout the world use traditional coffee roasting techniques that destroy many of these important polyphenol compounds due to the high temperatures used in the conventional roast process.

FUTURE'S HERO™



FUTURE'S HERO™ uses premium arabica coffee beans, which are roasted with the patented and proprietary HEALTHYROAST® process to preserve most of the potent, naturally-occurring antioxidants from the green coffee bean.



HEALTHYROAST® Process



Patented Technologies for a Healthier Coffee


Patent NO: US #6,723,368, #8,357,419, EU#1355536

The HEALTHYROAST® proprietary roasting technology employs a water extraction process prior to roasting that helps retain most of the potent {native antioxidants} contained in the unroasted {green coffee bean}, giving FUTURE’S HERO more antioxidants in every cup compared to conventionally roasted coffee.


And the best part? It does not alter the rich and delicious flavor of the roast profile!

STOMACH FRIENDLY™


The HEALTHYROAST® process increases antioxidants in the gastric tract, which has been shown to protect against irritations typically associated with drinking coffee. The result is the patented STOMACH FRIENDLY™ process, making that 2nd or 3rd cup of FUTURE’S HERO™ as easy on your stomach as the 1st.

Most conventionally roasted coffee is extremely acidic, thanks to components like caffeine.


Antioxidants can work their magic on the gut lining by protecting the cells to control inflammation and help support the growth of healthy bacteria. They also seem to magnify the effects of other gut-healing strategies like prebiotics and probiotics, making them a valuable addition to a gut-healing diet.

the HEALTHYROAST® DIFFERENCE

The HEALTHYROAST® process is a 100% natural roasting technique that helps preserve numerous bioactive compounds in our coffee without the use of additives or preservatives.

The first graph below shows the level of native antioxidants in an unroasted, green coffee bean sample. The sample is then conventionally roasted to show the level of antioxidants retained. The third graph shows the sample's increased level of antioxidants preserved by utilizing the HEALTHYROAST® process. We test for the following compounds associated with unroasted, green coffee beans: 3-CQA, 4-CQA, 5-CQA, 4-FQA, 5-FQA, 3,4-DCQA, 3,5-DCQA, and 4,5-DCQA.

ANTIOXIDANTS IN ACTION!

Free Radicals are unstable atoms that can cause damage to cells. Antioxidants fight them in several ways:

They may reduce the energy of the free radicals, stop them from forming in the first place, or interrupt an oxidizing chain reaction to minimize the damage caused. Because antioxidants are used up in the process of free radical neutralization, a diet rich in antioxidants is essential to ensure a constant supply.

Free radicals can be caused by:

  • Stress
  • Processed foods
  • Prescription drugs
  • Air pollution
  • UV light
  • Smoking

By increasing our antioxidant intake, we help reduce our body’s risk of many ailments!
