Unroasted coffee beans are one of the richest sources of antioxidants, particularly potent plant-based antioxidants known as polyphenols. Unfortunately most of these powerful antioxidants never make into your coffee cup because the traditional roasting process destroys them. Our Antioxidant Coffee is made with an exclusive roasting process that preserves the natural antioxidant value of coffee beans.

Our Antioxidant Coffee is made with an exclusive, triple-patented HealthyRoast® process. This 100% natural process is the culmination of years of research and development from food scientists. The HealthyRoast® process extracts and concentrates the antioxidants from the coffee bean into liquid then carefully meters it into the coffee at the end of the roasting process. Essentially, we take the antioxidants out, roast the beans, and then put them back in without affecting the taste or aroma. Every batch of coffee is also measured for antioxidant content by a third-party laboratory before it can be called Antioxidant Coffee. The HEALTHYROAST® Process is a 100% natural process that gives our Antioxidant Cafe™ coffee 50% more antioxidant strength than all other premium brands and up to 100% more antioxidant strength than 90% of all the coffee sold in the US market.

Free radicals are naturally released in our bodies when our cells use oxygen but can easily become damaged. Stress, poor diet, metabolism and environmental factors like smoking and air pollution can contribute to the amount of free radicals in your body. Antioxidants help protect your body from damaging free radicals that can cause disease and health issues. Our bodies cannot produce enough antioxidants without some help from food and dietary supplements to combat these potentially dangerous stresses. Antioxidants are important to our health because they combat and defuse free radicals- molecules that are associated with aging, tissue damage and many diseases. Antioxidants help prevent the oxidative stress caused by these free radicals. Oxidative stress occurs when we have more oxidation than antioxidants. Our bodies cannot produce enough antioxidants without some help from food and supplements to combat these potentially dangerous stresses. Add the pollutants and chemicals in our air, water and food and top that with daily stress and the need for antioxidants becomes clear. Coffee and especially our Antioxidant Cafe™ Coffee, because of the patented HEALTHYROAST® Process, is full of these free radical fighters and in fact, coffee was found to be “the single greatest contributor to the total antioxidant intake.” (The Journal of Clinical Nutrition 134:562-567, March 2004)
The antioxidants in our Antioxidant Coffee are especially important because they have been shown to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Without oxidation, the LDL would not be in the plaque that leads to heart attacks.

We’ve scouted the pristine tropical rainforests of Central America for mineral-rich soil that is worthy enough to produce coffee beans that exceed our demands for robust flavor. The coffee beans are grown at high altitudes with less oxygen so the bean has time to mature and develop a full, rich and delicate flavor. The coffee is actually a small cherry that is made up of two coffee beans and is handpicked at ideal ripeness. Within hours of picking, the cherries are de-pulped, fermented to remove the fruit film, washed, and then sun dried. The beans are extracted from the cherry. Only the finest quality ones make our cut. Samples of the beans are examined, roasted, ground, brewed and tasted by experts to certify their quality. The beans are roasted to our unique blend specifications using our proprietary process. Our roasting professionals “cup” or analyze our coffee for aromas, texture, sweetness, acidity and flavor to ensure it meets our high standards.

There have been rumors, legends and bad science about coffee and its possible detrimental effect on humans. In the last few decades, tens of thousands of medical studies have been conducted which have proved or been extremely promising about the health benefits of consuming coffee. The latest coffee research demonstrates that it can be good for us and can not only assist with heart health; by reducing LDL oxidation and cholesterol while increasing overall cellular longevity; but can also help lower your risk of certain diseases.

Our Antioxidant Cafe™ Coffee offers a uniquely healthy, deliciously robust cup of coffee because it has more antioxidants than any other coffee and most foods. Developed by a team of food scientists at Applied Food Sciences, Inc., our Antioxidant coffee retains the powerful polyphenol antioxidants present in the raw, green coffee bean. These significant antioxidants are extraxted out of the coffee beans during the roasting process [del Castillo MD, Ames JM, Gordon MH. J Agric Food Chem. 2002 Jun 19;50(13):3698-703] and added back while in the cooling phase. The HEALTHYROAST® Process of our Antioxidant Coffee is a 100% natural process with no additives or perservatives, that gives our coffee 50% more antioxidant strength than all other premium brands and up to 100% more antioxidant strength than 90% of all the coffee sold in the North American market.

Health scientists, who know, understand and explore the health benefits of coffee and coffee related compounds, have done extensive research in quantifying the level of antioxidants in our HealthyRoast® Coffee to validate the method, the process, and the analysis for ensuring a great cup of good health in each and every cup. [American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 84, No. 1, 95-135, July 2006]
Applied Food Sciences utilizes third party validation laboratories to ensure each and every batch of Antioxidant coffee contains the most antioxidants possible. Each batch of Antioxidant coffee is measured for total polyphenol content by an accredited lab with expertise in science, botanical chemistry and total antioxidant measurement.

Much of the negative information about coffee has centered on caffeine, which led to the creation of decaffeinated coffee. Many studies have shown not only that caffeine is not bad for us but can be beneficial [American Journal of Medicine. 122(7) 597-8, July 2009]. Caffeine can improve mental performance and alertness and is considered a mild stimulant but is not an addictive substance confirmed by The American Psychiatric Association. Headaches, asthma and even moods and certainly concentration can be positively affected by the caffeine in coffee. Endurance and athletic performance are improved by caffeine. Consider also the source for your caffeine! Soda is empty calories while our Antioxidant Cafe™ brand gives you the healthful benefits of caffeine and antioxidants.

The latest coffee research demonstrates that it can be good for us, contributing to the largest source of antioxidants in the American diet and can not only assist with heart health by reducing LDL oxidation, cholesterol and overall cellular longevity, but the supporting science also demonstrates that drinking our Antioxidant coffee may also lower your risk of certain diseases. Many proven studies and extremely promising studies have shown the benefits of coffee to our health and in combating disease. From Parkinson’s to Type II Diabetes, from Alzheimer’s to Heart Disease, from lowering LDL cholesterol, the studies have been important and profound. To list just a few. [Biochemistry 2004; 69:70-74, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition; 2006; 83:1039-46, Annals Internal Medicine 2004; 140:1-8, FEBS Letters 368 (1995) 188-192, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 97, No. 4, 293-300, February 16, 2005, CANCER RESEARCH 49, 1049-1051, February 15. 1989, Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Volume 16, 2009]
