Pine bark extract: standardised to 95% proanthocyanidins

The pine bark extract in this Fairvital dietary supplement is standardised to 95% proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins are secondary plant substances. They were discovered and isolated in the forties by a coincidence. They are colourless bitter compounds which belong to the flavanols. They have a strong antioxidant effect and are able to protect against free radicals.

Strong antioxidant

Proanthocyanidins have very strong antioxidant properties and are therefore able to neutralise free radicals which contributes to the cell protection.
Their antioxidant potential is said to be the strongest of all known antioxidant. If you combine proanthocyanidins, also called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), with vitamin C or E, they will prolong the effects of both vitamins many times over.

Proanthocyanidins can be resorbed easily by the body and are able to cross the blood-brain-barrier.

Supports the immune system

Due to the ability of proanthocyanidins to intensify and regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C, they can support and activate the immune system.
