Did you mean Total Antioxidant Capacity?

Glossary Total Antioxidant Capacity

measure of a sample's ability to neutralize free radicals

Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) is a measure of the combined antioxidant effect of all the compounds present in a sample, such as blood, food, or tissue. It reflects the ability of these compounds to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and diseases. TAC is important in both research and clinical settings to assess the antioxidant status and potential health benefits of various substances.
