OPC-super is an isotonic formula and  instantly and completely dissolved in water.
 
OPC-super is a dietary supplement and it contains all the powerful anti-oxidants.    Hundreds of medical research literatures have proved:
  • OPC stands as one of the most helpful nutritional substances in the world. Here is a brief list of the health benefits you might receive with use of OPC:
  • Acts as a superior antioxidant, protecting cells in the body against destruction by free radicals.
  • Lowers LDL cholesterol levels.
  • Reduces platelet aggregation, thus reducing the risk of stroke.
  • Increases the strength and elasticity of blood vessels, protecting against rupture, leakage and degeneration.
  • Enhances the ability of collagen to repair itself, thereby protecting against age-related and degenerative processes.
  • Inhibits swelling (edema) and inflammation.
  • Relieves functional problems of varicose veins.
  • Reduces discomfort associated with PMS and menopause.
  • Reduces the tendency toward diabetic retinopathy.
  • Improves skin health by reducing damage, increasing nutrient supply and improving elasticity.
  • Strengthens blood vessel walls
  • Boosts immunity.    
  • Helps relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
  • Reduces inflammation.
  • Eases allergies. Overcome attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD, or hyperactivity).

         POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS

         Free radicals are incredibly destructive. They damage our cells, which can mean premature aging, reduced immune function, inflammation and ultimately degenerative disease. Our primary defense is antioxidant nutrients, of which the most well known are Vitamins C and E. The biological activity of antioxidants  is enormously important to our health. OPC's are very powerful antioxidant free radical scavengers. They are as much as 50 times more potent than Vitamin E and 20 times more than Vitamin C.  OPC's are major protectors of Vitamin C and Vitamin E.  It also is the major protector of  collagen, the basic foundation our blood vessels and all connective tissues such as skin, ligaments around joints and tendons.

         TERMINOLOGY

         OPC extract contains individual units called catechins. When catechins occur individually, they are called monomers. When linked together in pairs, they are called "dimers" and when in three's, "trimers." He named the mixture "pycnogenols" from the Greek "pycno" meaning to "thicken or condense," "gen"  meaning "to generate" and "ol" from their chemical name.

          The dimers and trimers are referred to as oligomeric proanthocyanidins. "Oligo" is from the Greek meaning "a few". "Pro" means "before" or "produces" and "anthoCyanins" are the red compounds that the proanthcyanidins change into when fruit ripens, flowers mature or leaves turn.

         "Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins" is abbreviated "OPC." They are found in most plants, are highly bioavailable and are active in the body as tremendous antioxidants and free radical scavengers. OPC's are chemically classified as flavanols and are present in red wines, flowers, leaves, fruits, berries, nuts, sorghum, beans and hops with high concentrations in skins, barks and seeds. The most feasible commercial source is the seeds of grapes and the bark of  the French Maritime Pine.

          Technically speaking, OPC's are not bioflavonoids. OPC's are "flavonols" while bioflavonoids are "flavonoids." While the chemical structure of their core molecules is the same, flavonols and flavonoids actually have differences. OPC's are colorless, bioflavonoids are yellow. OPC's are water soluble,    bioflavonoids are relatively insoluble. OPC's, are always made up of polymers of one compound called "flavan-3-ol," while bioflavonoids are made up of many different compounds with a "flavane" nucleus. Nevertheless, both flavonols and bioflavonoids occur in nature together.

           FORMULATION

              OPC-super including pharmaceutical grade extracts of grape seeds, pine bark, Bilbery and citric bioflavonoin .  They belong to the total family of bioflavonoids, occur in nature with OPC's and are a unique plus to these great formulas. Up to 25% of OPC extract consists of monomeric precursors, the building blocks of OPC. In grape seed extract, these precursors are known as catechins and epicatechins. Pine bark extract contains catechins and taxifolin.  Blending both grape seed, pine bark and bilbery extracts combines all their     monomeric precursors. The two together provide a broad spectrum, creating a more complete storehouse of OPC building blocks.
