OPC-10

Scientists have discovered that extracts from brightly colored fruits and vegetables possess the best antioxidant properties. The chemicals naturally occurring in the plants - polyphenols and proanthocyadins - provide amazing health benefits. Studies have shown that people who regularly consume these potent plants remain healthier as they age.

OPC-10 is a combination of the finest herbal extracts from Grape Seed, Red Wine, Pine Bark, Bilberry, Green Tea, Lycopene, Cranberry, Olive Leaf, Citrus Bioflavonoids and Vitamin C. These beneficial ingredients are able to improve our immune system in a variety of ways. OPC-10 also contains EGCG found in Green Tea, which is the most potent antioxidant in the OPC category.

Scientists use a scoring method referred to as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) - the higher the ORAC score the better the food is at protecting the body‘s cells from free radical induced damage. Extensively damaged cells can make them more susceptible to the development of cancer and other chronic diseases.  Anti-oxidants, such as the concentrated amounts in OPC-10, have high ORAC values and are therefore associated with benefits such eliminating the free radicals that contribute to or cause cancer, aging, heart disease, and many other diseases and conditions.

In addition, the low carbohydrate and low calorie content in OPC-10 is favourable to people currently on a diet.  While there are many OPC products on the market, OPC-10 is shown to have better quality and performance and is our pick as the best product or its type.
