OPC: highly dosed antioxidant against free radicals

OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) is a group of very diverse and effective secondary plant substances. They are used by the plants to protect them against UV radiation, climatic conditions and parasites.
Within a few minutes, the antioxidant is resorbed through the gastric mucosa into the blood stream and spread throughout the body, because OPC has a high bioavailability. It reaches its highest concentration within 45 minutes and is usually used up by the organism after 72 hours.

Strong antioxidant

OPC is known to be able to neutralise free radicals and to render them harmless. Antioxidants play an important role in the immune system.
Free radicals attack our cells constantly. This process is part of the normal vital processes in the organism. These attacks become stronger by means of living conditions, which make it difficult for the organism to fight them off. These conditions include environmental toxins, car exhausts, pesticides, emotional and physical stress, cigarette smoke, rancid oil or grilled meat. Even free-time activities such as sport or gymnastics increase the attacks of free radicals. The more we are living under such conditions, the more oxidative stress we are exposed to; and the more antioxidants we need to fight them off.
