What does ORAC 2,784,377 μMol TE/g actually mean?

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity — a lab measure of how much antioxidant capacity a substance has per gram, expressed in micromoles of Trolox equivalent. For context, fresh blueberries score around 9,000 ORAC units per 100g. Florac™ is a concentrated polyphenol extract complex, which is why the per-gram value is dramatically higher. ORAC is a useful comparative number, not a daily-intake target — what matters is consistent, varied polyphenol intake across your diet.

Why is the same complex sometimes called 'Phytorac+'?

Florac™ is the trademark printed on the physical Beyond Cactus+ box and is the canonical name. 'Phytorac+' appears in some Chinese-language marketing materials for the same proprietary complex. They refer to the same blend; we use Florac™ throughout the brand and on this site.

Are there interaction risks I should know about?

Yes — please discuss Beyond Cactus+ with your clinician if you take prescription medication. Three plants in the Florac™ blend deserve specific attention: green tea (catechins can interact with some heart medications), grapefruit (the 'grapefruit interaction' is real and affects many drug classes — though dietary-level intakes are usually less risky than clinical doses), and pomegranate (mild CYP3A4 inhibition has been reported). When in doubt, show the full ingredient panel to your doctor or pharmacist.

Is Florac™ vegan or vegetarian?

Florac™ is fully plant-derived. The wider Beyond Cactus+ formula is vegetarian and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Florac™ 10-Plant Antioxidant Complex

Polyphenol density, in a daily cup.

A standardised blend of ten plant extracts — green olive, grape, pomegranate, green tea, grapefruit, bilberry, acerola, broccoli, cranberry and blackcurrant — formulated for broad polyphenol and anthocyanin coverage in a single daily serving.

Plants in the blend: 10
ORAC value: 2,784,377 μMol TE/g
Trademark: Florac™ (also known as Phytorac+ regionally)
Role: Pillar 2 — antioxidant defence

◇ TL;DR

What: Florac™ is a standardised 10-plant polyphenol extract blend at the heart of Beyond Cactus+.
The ten plants: green olive, grape, pomegranate, green tea, grapefruit, bilberry, acerola, broccoli, cranberry, blackcurrant.
ORAC value: 2,784,377 μMol TE/g — concentrated polyphenol density per gram.
Naming: Florac™ is the trademark on the box. Some Chinese-market materials call the same complex "Phytorac+".

What Florac™ is.

Florac™ is the second of the three plant pillars that make Beyond Cactus+ what it is. Where Mexico cactus is the traditional foundation and Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat delivers the targeted 2-HOBA scavenger, Florac™ is the broad-spectrum antioxidant layer — ten polyphenol-dense plants standardised into a single proprietary complex.

We didn't formulate Florac™ as a "more is better" pile of ingredients. The point of a 10-plant blend is complementary chemistry: anthocyanins from the berries, catechins from green tea, ellagic acid from pomegranate, hydroxytyrosol from olive. Different polyphenol classes work on different oxidative pathways. A single-plant extract can't.

The ten plants — what each one brings.

Plant	What it brings
Green olive	Source of hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein, two of the best-studied Mediterranean polyphenols.
Grape (skin & seed)	Resveratrol, OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) and anthocyanins.
Pomegranate	Punicalagins and ellagic acid — among the most concentrated polyphenols in the food supply.
Green tea	Catechins, especially EGCG. Note: contains caffeine traces and may interact with some medications.
Grapefruit	Naringenin and naringin. Note: grapefruit polyphenols can interact with prescription drugs — please discuss with your clinician.
Bilberry	Anthocyanin-rich Nordic berry, traditionally associated with eye and microvascular support.
Acerola	One of the densest natural sources of vitamin C, plus carotenoids.
Broccoli	Sulforaphane precursor (glucoraphanin) — a unique sulphur-based phytochemical.
Cranberry	Type-A proanthocyanidins (PACs), traditionally associated with urinary tract support.
Blackcurrant	Delphinidins and anthocyanins — the dark pigments that give blackcurrant its colour.

What ORAC 2,784,377 means in context.

ORAC — Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity — is a lab measure of antioxidant capacity per gram, expressed in micromoles of Trolox equivalent (μMol TE/g). It was developed at the USDA and once published as a database the agency later retired (because consumers were over-interpreting it). It is still useful as a comparative number; it is not a daily-intake target.

For comparison: fresh blueberries score around 9,000 ORAC units per 100g; raw cocoa is around 80,000; acai pulp around 100,000. Florac™ is a concentrated extract complex — that's why the per-gram value runs into the millions. The comparison that matters for you isn't blueberries vs. Florac™. It's: what does the formula deliver across a daily 8g serving? And the answer is "a polyphenol profile it would take a kitchen-counter full of fresh produce to match."

On the name — Florac™ vs. Phytorac+.

Florac™ is the trademark printed on the physical Beyond Cactus+ box. It is the canonical name we use in every customer-facing material, in our JSON-LD product schema, and in communication with regulators.

Some readers may have come across "Phytorac+" in our Chinese-language marketing deck. They refer to the same proprietary 10-plant blend — "Phytorac+" is a regional naming choice for that market only. If you ever see Phytorac+ cited against Beyond Cactus+, you can treat it as identical to Florac™.

Drug interactions worth flagging.

Three of the ten Florac™ plants warrant a quick note for anyone on prescription medication:

Green tea — catechins (especially EGCG) can affect blood-thinning and some cardiovascular medications.
Grapefruit — the "grapefruit interaction" is a well-documented effect on the CYP3A4 enzyme that metabolises many drugs (statins, certain blood-pressure medications, immunosuppressants and others). Dietary intake levels are lower risk than concentrated juice, but it's worth flagging.
Pomegranate — mild CYP3A4 inhibition has been reported.

None of this disqualifies Beyond Cactus+ for most users — but if you take prescription medication daily, please show the full ingredient panel to your doctor or pharmacist before starting. We built the FAQ explicitly to make this conversation easier.
