Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes

(aka OPCs)

Background:

Our bodies are under nearly constant assault by compounds called free radicals, damaged cells having one electron missing in its outer shell: they come from within our bodies due to bio-chemical reactions (digestive processes); they come from the environment, from chemical additives and preservatives in the prepared foods we eat, pesticides, herbicides, automobile exhaust, xrays, even sunlight (sunburn is a form of free radical damage) and chlorinated water; and they come from free radical cascades, a phenomenon where one free radical creates thousands of others in a chain reaction. This chain reaction can damage cell structure so severely that immunity is impaired and degenerative diseases result, including but not limited to cardio-vascular disease, cancer, diabetes and premature aging evidenced by asthma, fatigue, arthritis, rheumatism, etc.

Solution:

Our bodies use anti-oxidents to combat free radicals. These anti-oxidents occur naturally in the form of Vitamins A, C and E, and bioflavinoids. Proanthocyanidins are a very powerful class of bioflavinoids, 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 20 times more powerful than Vitamin C. OPCs are derived from extracts of pine bark and grape seeds.

Delivery Systems:

Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins are availble in many formats and formulas but the key to efficient absorption into the bloodstream, so that they can be utilized by our bodies, lies in our digestive system. Pills or capsules are taken orally and must be digested (liquified) in the stomach so that they can be absorbed by the small intestine. This method achieves approximately 45-60% effectivity in 40-75 minutes. If these pills or capsules can be pre-liquified or taken in an isotonic state, absorption will be speeded up and optimized. Isotonic delivery systems achieve 90-95% effectivity within 15-20 minutes.
